However, the outdoor space was unusable and not as reflected in the photos. And having booked for 6 people it was disappointing that there weren’t even 6 chairs around the dining table. Lovely cottage but not as lovely as advertised due to unusable outdoor area. ##### Samuel B. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helen R. 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Let me start with the positives.Excellent communication re: Check In.Downstairs was big and family friendly Bedrooms were decent size, beds were comfy.Location excellent.Compromises:Not enough crockeryOutside space could do with being maintained betterLots of cobwebs and very dusty- you have to be out by 10 and next guests not in til 16:00, thats 6 hrs to clean.
