We enjoyed our break despite the awful weather, the quietness was very refreshing, the cottage had everything we needed, the only negative for us was the rather firm bed in the downstairs bedroom, however, some people may prefer this.

Nice location

It was a nice quiet location. Decor a bit dated, needed £1 coins for the meter. Enjoyed watching the swallows feeding their babies. Had no communication with the property owner but couldn’t leave the star rating blank.

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location. Near to all you need. May be a bit cold in winter with no central heating, although the log burner will keep the living room nice and warm.
