The bed and the sofa were very comfortable. The stairs were VERY steep and would cause a problem for the elderly or infirm. The maintenance of the cottage requires improving, i.e. drawers not closing properly, handle fallen off drawer, extractor fan not working, doors sticking.

The stairs are steep, as described, and the whole cottage is quirky, but comfortable and clean and very centrally placed. Our only problem has been the TVs. We really could do with idiot proof instructions for them - they are very up to date compared to ours at home. We did manage to get some freesat channels on the TV in the lounge but with no Netfix accounts or similar generally they were beyond us. However, we did not worry too much about the lack of TV!!

Well equipped, in a good spot for touring the Cotswolds and canal walking.
