It has 2 stores including post office, 2 pubs and a nice friendly cafe. The property is a good size especially the main bedroom. When we arrived Val had left us bread, milk, wine, cheese, butter and bottled water, which was very generous and kind. The kitchen is quite modern and includes washing machine and dishwasher, which was nice. We walked into the living room and it smelt of dog, no where else did and it was very off putting, and then I realised it was the sofa covers, they obviously had not been washed between visitors, I removed them and put them in a bag in the airing cupboard, instantly the smell was gone. The bathroom, looked like it had not been cleaned at all, the floor was unswept and dirty, the shower was covered in dog hairs on the base and all around it and also all around the pedestal of the toilet, underneath the toilet where it is not covered in was loads of cobwebs. There was lots of mould all around the doors of the shower and on the runners, it wasn't nice, it took me a good 2 hours to clean it all up before I even thought of using it. Val had left a note saying if there were any problems to contact her, but to be honest, we didn't want someone coming in to clean all the bathroom, while we were there, I didn't notice it until quite late that evening, so it would mean waiting for someone to come in the next morning before we showered and got ready and I didn't want the disruption, so I just cleaned it myself. There was a lot of cobwebs on the sky lights and skirting, pictures etc which I got rid of using the long handled duster. Everything else was fine, the bedrooms, the bed linen, we were happy with. Although the white towels were too rough for my taste. There was a mish mash of styles but it was comfortable and very warm and we really liked sitting in the conservatory looking out into the garden. Boxford is centrally located to many nearby attractions and places to visit.

then to walk up 4 steps to the front door, where the handle on the wall was actually loose due to missing screws. I went for this cottage as i always go for accessible ones, as my husband has difficulty in walking far, let alone up steps. the bathroom shower, was not accessible to him, nor was there any help in safety handles, chair etc.
