Lovely kitchen and furnishings, plenty of crockery and utensils. We had pizzas delivered one night, and got a taxi there and back to a pub no problem. Hot tub and towels very nice. Gorgeous rural location. The only downside was the terrible smell emanating from the downstairs wet room (has been mentioned on previous reviews) This rendered that room unusable for us, so all 6 had to use the upstairs bathroom. Otherwise a nice weekend stay

The welcome package was a fab touch and so thoughtful. The beds are also really comfy, we slept like logs. The kitchen and utility room is well stocked and every small detail is thought of. The location is peaceful and secluded, although supermarkets are just a short drive away for grabbing any essentials. We also had a lovely afternoon tea at Stretton Hall Farm nearby - I'd definitely recommend stopping by! The only small downsides was the underfloor heating was a bit too warm, even on the lower setting - we ended up opening the windows and doors a couple of times (not exactly a big issue at all). There was also an occasional sulphur-like smell from the sink and shower drains, but we put this down to the rural location. Overall, we'd not hesitate to visit again in the future and would highly recommend the cottage to others.
