The cottage's cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like a welcome gift are noted, although some guests suggest improvements in maintenance and facilities.
The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and warm upon arrival. However, one review mentioned the floor needing a mop, indicating room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its quiet, picturesque setting and the convenience of having two welcoming pubs within walking distance. The village's charm and the ease of exploring the surrounding areas contribute to a high score.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, but there are comments about the bed being small for two adults and the shower being difficult for less able visitors, suggesting that while generally comfortable, there are aspects that could be enhanced.
The cottage is described as extremely well-equipped with necessary amenities like an iron, hair dryer, and kitchen appliances. However, some guests noted issues with hot water instructions, a kettle needing descaling, and a preference for a walk-in shower, indicating that some facilities could benefit from better maintenance.
While guests express gratitude for the welcome gift of wine and biscuits, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such thoughtful gestures across all stays. Therefore, it should be noted that while appreciated, such gifts may not be guaranteed.

It had everything, in a good area for visiting. Really cold at the time but the cottage was always cosy and warm. Red wine and biscuits were appreciated and would definitely book again and recommend

Big thank you to the owner for the wine and biscuits on arrival. The cottage was clean and warm with a very comfortable bed. I would say, for less able visitors the shower is a little difficult to access, but was fine for us. The village is quiet, with two good pubs (sadly not open seven days) and a well stocked village store. Roads are pretty good for getting about.
