cottage with our grandchildren aged 6 and 10. They loved "living in the country" as they live in London. The cottage was cosy and homely yet had all the conveniences and amenities we needed. It ticked all our boxes However, we did find the neighbours unfriendly. We got told in no uncertain terms to stay away from the sheep [which my grandchildren had named) as it was private property. Such a shame we couldnt then look at the sheep as it was a selling point for us when I read there were sheep at the bottom of the garden as my grandchildren have never seen sheep up so closely That aside we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend staying at your beautiful cottage.

Some milk in the fridge and some hand wash would have been a nice welcome. Very strange kitchen with washer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer in a cupboard which made access difficult. The shower only produced a trickle of water. No floor was level and there were raised thresholds between rooms to trip over. The tiles and wood/laminate floors were badly fitted to leave gaps in places which could also cause trips. The stair banister and balustrade along the landing were a worry as they were not rigid and moved when touched. The cottage appeared clean superficially but was in need of a thorough clean. The kitchen drain and those from the dishwasher and the washing machine were very smelly. We would not return.
