Cottage is beautifully fitted and very well equipped. Very efficient heating and plenty of hot water. Parking is a bit uncertain but we always found a space. Excellent location very near the village centre. We would come again!

Great location for exploring the local area. The cottage was warm and comfortable, albeit furnished in a slightly anachronistic style, which we liked. We grew to like the unusual bells from the church.

Nice deep bath and electric shower. Nice little private walled garden area to sit out for some fresh air. Beautiful location and lots of history, walks and trails to explore. Heritage railway close by. Local pubs very friendly and welcoming. Finding a parking space not the easiest due to location close to the centre of the village. Brought 2 bikes with us but struggled to fit them in to the shed for security due to the ladders and building materials. Living room furniture not the most comfortable, especially the tub chairs. Unfortunately the twin bedroom had a strong smell of mould, and the living room of cat. Communication regarding our stay was excellent. I think this accommodation could easily be improved with just a deep clean and some comfortable seating.
