The living room is small but cosy, kitchen has everything you should need even for a long stay. The bedroom has good storage however the bed frame feels worn out and creeks even when turing over which could wake a partner up. I only down scored overall because we had no hand soap in the bathroom when we arrived and half a toilet roll other than that it was good value. ##### Neil Bird This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Crofts 5 Apr 2025 #### Well equipped,cosy,small cottage with interesting architectural features.

We had some lovely walks with the dog, and the shops and pubs were within walking distance. However there was no getting away from the musty smell which I believe was the settee and chair, which to be fair the settee was very small and not very comfortable to lounge about in for two people. Would have been nice to have a bit more garden segregated off at the rear. And it is useful to have a viewing mirror so you can safely pull out of the drive. Apart from that we had a lovely time and would consider coming back  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo ##### Debbie This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine 6 Aug 2020 #### Lovely cottage third time at this cottage lovely .
