Cottage just needs a little finishing off, light bulb blown, no lighter for fire, was one but empty.No baking tray, had to use roasting tin.Put a new battery in clock.Some paintwork needs attention.Different settee, not as nice and comfy looking as one on website.However we did enjoy our stay and would recommend.

It could do with putting right and would look so much nicer. Perhaps a box of firelighters may be useful too. Overall a lovely stay and having the pub next door is a huge bonus! we had a fabulous weekend thank you so much.

Despite this we would not hesitate to stay here again. It was lovely and warm and cosy and the location next to the pub was perfect. The enclosed back yard was just what we needed for our dog, we were able to let him outside unsupervised.
