We liked the cottage and the heating was good. The position is great for days out to many lovely villages. Providing soap and washing up liquid would have added a welcoming touch. We were informed that the smart TV had a fault so an ordinary TV was in its place. I note this was also the case in a September review.

The creaky floorboards and noisy water system did not spoil a lovely week in a nice cottage.
