Comfortable, clean and neat. The perfect base. My only thoughts for improvement would be to have a few basics in the kitchen, salt pepper some vegetable oil. The things that are a pain to buy for the small quantities you use whilst away. Property is very dig friendly, no silly rules that are impossible to follow, but with no enclosed garden space toileting is a bit of a palaver, it has to be on lead and the garden area is shared with the neighbouring cottage. Less than ideal at 1am when you don’t want to disturb the other guests. Provide a fenced in area and it would be so much easier!

Quite nice cottage on two levels. Not keen on seperate bathroom downstairs with metal batch. Very slippery to climb in even with mat. Tamworth seems to have gone downhill hwever it was good for travelling to National remberance Arboretum. Great day ot there.Not many ggod pubs around with decent food offerings. We went to Tame Otter about 15 mins drive.Overall ok for value

Beautiful clean, airy and welcoming cottage. Very well equipped even in a small kitchen. We were very comfortable and loved the little garden with a fabulous view.We had 2 dogs with us so the only thing that would have been helpful would be if the garden was more secure so they could be off lead for a little while. Thank you for a lovely stay, it was great.
