- Directions weren't great and we couldnt find it! - suggest you say its next to the garage! - After a very long journey We couldnt get it and eventually discovered the front door had been bolted from the inside! - We tried to call the contact number provided as we couldnt get in and nobody answered and we couldnt leave a message - We eventually got in through the garage thankfully! - The key safe is difficult to access above a plastic storage shed and wasnt locked

Very clean except for the carpets and sofa which let the cottage down. The backyard was very disappointing. Overgrown shrubs made it feel dark and damp. The weather was sunny but no sun reaches the backyard in mid September except for one corner at midday. We couldn't sit there though because there's a large plastic storage box in the way. This should be on the other side of the yard. We won't book this cottage again because of the backyard.

We were so pleased with the little extras provided throughout the cottage very thoughtful of the owners. We felt at home in the cottage everything was perfect. Super comfy beds and fab shower. Loved the bath and made use of it! Kitchen and dining room perfect for cooking everything provided and lounge relaxing for evenings. The utility room is so useful when you have dogs and the garden enclosed. The only thing was the website states a freezer in the utility room and it's a second fridge. Luckily could just fit our dogs frozen raw food in the tiny freezing section so it was okay. Definitely be back to Satis Cottage love the location and spent many evenings across road in the Crown!
