Such a beautiful and well equipped cottage it has everything you need and is exceptionally clean. The bed is super comfy and for the previous reviews that say the couch is too low that is the style of it it's lovely modern and very comfy. I loved sitting in the chair by the open doors in a morning looking out over the country side having my morning coffee from the Nespresso machine 🥰. Our only concern as a dog owner is that nothing was mentioned that the patio/garden is not secure/ enclosed it is open with the next property and dogs can also get onto the drive way/owners land . Luckily we had a tether and long line so was able to allow our dog some freedom outside . This aside we would definitely go back again in the future

We have been thoroughly disappointed with our recent stay at The Hen House. The overall cleanliness was very poor and the kitchen was very sparingly equipped. The equipment which was in the kitchen, ie. pan, saucepan, was quite old and not very clean. The cleanliness in the bathroom and especially around the toilet area as quite poor as was the state of the washing machine. There was also a spider web around the lampshade in the bedroom. All in all a very disappointing stay and we actually left a day earlier.
