Guests describe the cottage as warm, comfortable, and cosy, with a well-catered environment for dogs. However, some guests noted issues with steep stairs and parking for larger vehicles.
The cottage is generally seen as well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but there are mentions of a damp smell when air fresheners are unplugged and a slow-draining bathtub, indicating some maintenance issues.

We stayed a week and working remotely from the house which worked very well. Great to be in the old part of town with two nice pubs nearby. Lovely to have the summer house part of the garden one the warm days.

A lovely cottage in a great location. Enjoyed sitting by the Summer house. The local pub The Lion was really good. Visited Farmers Dog which was worth a look! And visited lots of pretty towns and villages.
