Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the cottage clean and comfortable. However, a single mention of the quilt being too heavy suggests while comfort is generally high, personal preferences may vary.

storage - providing a half-sized cupboard for food and a tiny fridge for up to 4 people is not enough. 2. The ramp to the front door is extremely slippery when wet, even wearing walking boots etc the feet slipped. More worrying was my wife's walking stick and feet slipped numerous times nearly causing a fall! The cottage was very comfy and warm, and we did initially say we would want to return but due to the above we probably will not which is a shame.

The cottage was bigger on the inside than we imagined from the photos. It was beautifully clean and tidy and had all the amenities we needed. The location was a perfect central location and even though on a working farm was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed it so much we have booked again for next year.
