It would be useful to have stepping stones leading to furniture in the side garden as deep gravel was a nightmare for one party member who uses a walking stick for mobility issues.The cottage itself was very welcoming and comfortable with everything that you require.It was unclear that the front garden was not directly attached to the property but was across the road and down a steep embankment to access the river, virtually impossible for anyone with mobility issues.A lovely relaxing stay if you have no mobility issues.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and clean, with good equipment, and everything you would need for a relaxing, quiet, break. Very dog-friendly with a secure garden, and good local walks. The owner and manager were friendly, welcoming, and helpful, you really felt that they wanted you to enjoy your stay. The location was perfect for us but some people may find the access up a narrow track difficult. You need to use a car to access shopping etc, however very good shops, pubs, and cafes, are located within a few miles. It would be handy if there was a guide on how to use the appliances and tv.Overall a great holiday cottage and would definitely consider staying again.
