Cottage clean & comfortable. Amenities good. The outside a bit run down. The decking a trip hazard. The table outside covered with old bird droppings. The sitting /dining area dark due to hedging over the windows . Car park would have been tight if there had been two cars. The area is a bir remote & some local roads frightening. Out of 5 local pubs 3 had closed for good & 1 stopped searving food at 6.
