It was a lovely cottage, but we found the bedroom much too cold in winter. It needs a much larger source of heat than the small oil-filled radiator that is there at present.And the downstairs bathroom was a bit trying at times!

The Cottage is easy to find and away from the road. In the recent storm a tree fell and hit the corner of the property dislodging slates. The owner had a very lucky escape when he came out to check what had hit his own property. The cottage is in a charming village with lovely walks along the canal. We recommend the Admiral Nelson pub. You are near the major roads for day visits to the surrounding towns such as Coventry, Rugby and Northampton for example. We'll come again.
