Only frustration is that as enthusiastic foodies and cooks the hob is very out of date and poor and none of the frying pans sit flush on the surface as they are warped so need replacing.

The lane from here is very steep and long though so difficult to ride back up on a bike. Some sort of bike storage would have been a bonus but we just kept ours in our car in the pub car park. The cottage was very comfortable. Only 2 electric radiators but kept the cottage warm. Comfy beds, shower was a little temperamental but adequate, towels provided. We had a fab time and food in the pub was lovely. Would return.
