The cottage and back garden were just as described, and the owner Lisa was wonderful to communicate with whenever we had a question.

Very comfortable bed with crisp white bedding. Large fluffy white towels and an excellent shower. The property has access to a rear garden which is perfect if you have a young family or dogs as it’s fully enclosed. The only downside for us was the toilet being downstairs as my husband is of a certain age and gets up in the night Lisa was always on hand if you had any problems ##### Olwen Williams Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen W. 9 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful!
