A lovely environment with gardens etc. The en-suite bathroom was ‘tired’ and needed updating, and one of the couches very uncomfortable as the seating needed restrapping.

We were made to wait well past check in time to enter our cottage the tray in the oven was filthy and had deep fat in it. Cleaners barged in without being invited and no clean towels were left. One tea towel provided which was dirty quickly as I had to clean the oven tray. Very difficult to see owners or staff as office never manned. I had to check out by just leaving a message on cell phone and the key on the reception desk

Cosy home away from home.

Lovely clean and warm cottage with more than adequate space for ourselves and another couple? Our hostess was very warm and welcoming and any requests were dealt with quickly and efficiently. When we arrived late in the afternoon the fire was on making the cottage lovely and cosy.
