Kitchen was adequately equipped, bathroom and shower clean and lovely clean/fresh bed linen. Owner, Margaret, was lovely - friendly and very helpful. The only downside was the very poor wi-fi coverage which was intermittent and unreliable. Would not have been such an issue except we had no mobile coverage either (with two different mobile providers!). We had a fabulous, long-awaited holiday Thanks

Itâs part & parcel of the holiday being able to sit outside in Gorgeous weather but we couldnât,

Friendly host. Nice touch with biscuits and chocolates on arrival. Beds were comfy but seats were all conservatory type. Ok for short spells but not good for an extended lounge. Biggest gripe was the non-existent WIFI. A booster from one stone cottage to the router in another is NEVER going to work. A couple of days without internet is ok but when away for a week, especially when weâre often expecting to still be able to access work, is not.
