Due to the nature of the village layout, initially locating the cottage was a bit difficult for my tired brain. The cottage is nestled in an extremely quiet part of the village. Peace and quiet! The accommodation was as described. We both found the bed extremely comfortable and enjoyed restful sleep. The allocated parking housed our medium sized car easily. Highlights of the local area are the Shoulder of Mutton that served reasonably priced tasty pub grub and a cracking pint of bitter with a friendly smile and the local Bakehouse for their pies.

Banged and cut my head a couple of times on projecting shelf. Getting upstairs also problamatical if you have back trouble or if you are tall. Otherwise location good and probably better in summer with a nice garden.
