Alan
The instructions to find the cottage are quite inadequate. We thought the interior looked very tired with threadbare carpets and over worn sofas. Spiders seem to have been busy around the fireplace weaving their webs. Our bed was not comfortable. We did though obtain a discounted price which we very much appreciated.

We were very happy with the accommodation It represented very good value for money and completely met our needs The instructions to find the cottage were a problem as the cafe which we needed to turn by no longer exists and the approach to the barn was extremely tight for our 2 4x4 vehicles so parking was very tight

Plenty of space for us as a family of 5 adults, 1 toddler and a dog. A little bit hard to find at first so suggest the directions given on the website be updated
