The cottage itself is quaint and lovely but the area and surroundings aren’t all that you would expect. The cottage is straight off a main busy road and the road itself looks very shabby. We didn’t use the hot tub as we couldn’t get it to temperature and there was no chlorine smell so we were a bit wary of using it. I had to clean all the seating and table outside as it hadn’t been cleaned.The cottage inside was clean except there wasn’t any shower gel or shampoo which would have been a lovely touch. There was also no dish cloth so you had to use the dishwasher. Both mattresses had seen better days, you could feel every spring on the double bed with the bunk bed and the mattress in the main bedroom slanted down towards the window!!

Lovely cottage, very clean, lovely decor and furniture. A little small would be cramped with 5 people staying there. Location is ok but very near a very fast main road , that said the noise wasnt too bad. The Ship pub is very close good food nice people good atmosphere. But not much else around there to do, having a car is a must !. All that said we had a lovely relaxing weekend.
