The accommodation was easy to find, exceptionally clean and very well presented. The welcome pack is a nice touch and the Hot Tub was lovely and easy to use. We would have given 5/5 but for the upstairs ceiling height, it is very low and the only way to get in and out of bed is either on your hands and knees or by bending over.

Excellent stay at the Little House. The cottage was spotlesly clean and had all the required esentials. The welcome package was a nice touch. If taking a dog the local area is just country lanes, so best to prepare and find local walks a short drive away. Would definitely stay again!
