The essentials provided were above & beyond, plenty of tea, sugar, kitchen roll, toilet paper, washing up liquid, cleaning items. A pint of milk, luxury biscuits & a bottle of wine provided were very much appreciated! The towels & bedding were excellent. The views from the living room & outside veranda were lovely. This was a very convenient place to stay to spend time with our daughter who has recently graduated as a neonatal nurse at royal stoke university hospital. Thank you for your hospitality.

The cottage was perfectly situated for what we wanted to do in the area. Terry and Jan are very friendly and responsive when needed. The television set up is a bit complicated but Terry sorted it out each time it was necessary. Lovely powerful shower. Regarding an earlier review we didn't see any mice in the house. There is a lovely gazebo/decking area with fabulous views, although we didn't have the weather/time to make the most of this. Would definitely recommend.

Beds very comfortable and the shower very good. Hosts friendly, as we're the pets, but not at all intrusive.
