The property was much more spacious than we expected, and was very well equipped. Comfy bed and sofa, and very peaceful. Safe and secure garden for our dog!! We always managed to park either just outside the church or by the school, so didn't find this a problem and the pathway to the cottage really not that far for luggage etc. The village itself is a delight, as are the locals. Fantastic local pub, lovely walks in and around the village, and last but no least the sound of the church bells. We will be back for sure.

There are a few minor repairs to be done inside the house. Access after dark is tricky and so perhaps some better lighting to the path and steps on the way into the house could be achieved? Older visitors might really struggle with this. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
