There is plenty of parking and turning space for a large car. The wi-fi works well. We are surprised at a recent review which stated that a guest couldn't sleep because of traffic noise. Yes, you can hear a passing vehicle for a few seconds from time to time, but this did not disturb us, even though we have long lived in a quiet rural location. The back of the house is against the road, but all the windows face on to the courtyard.

Our fifth so I think that says everything! Beautiful cottage, well located for exploring, equipped with everything you need and SO comfortable. We were so lucky with the weather too which was an added bonus. Iâm sure weâll be back again soon.

Itâs clear that the owner has gone to a lot of effort and expense to decorate and furnish the property to a very high standard. The cottage felt lovely and cosy with a country style-modern decor which we loved. I have to comment especially on how clean it was, for somewhere which allows pets, the carpets were absolutely spotless even down the side of the furniture which often gets overlooked! Iâve never stayed anywhere with such attention to detail - and we are picky! We were welcomed by a lovely note from the owner and a pack of biscuits and fresh local apple juice, as well as milk in the fridge, this was a lovely touch and makes it stand out from other places weâve stayed. I brought my cat with us and he settled in straight away, he absolutely loved bird watching through the main bedroom window! The shower was a nice size with good water pressure. If you are a light sleeper then I would recommend bringing ear plugs because the property backs straight onto a country road, itâs only a 30mph speed limit but does sound quite loud due to the closeness of the road. It didnât bother me as Iâm used to wearing earplugs living next to a motorway back home but my mum struggled to get to sleep. A few things Iâd recommend for the owner (and they are small things): Kitchen scissors didnât work Cutting knife was very blunt Bin in bathroom was an open-top wicker thing with no bag, could do with changing to a pedal bin as itâs more hygienic for putting wipes or hygiene products inside etc. :) It would also have been a bonus to have a footstool next to the sofa to put our feet up on after a long day walking about. Overall we would definitely recommend and would consider returning when we are next in the area.
