Charming 3-level cottage with very cosy tv-lounge on lowest level. Street-level entry is to the kitchen area and main bathroom and 2 bedrooms are upstairs. Freshly decorated and clean. Bigger cars will struggle navigating the tiny lanes to park outside the property; that said, a rather large builder's van working across the road had no trouble. Overall, very good. ##### Marcello Ruffini ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia K. 4 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### May Cottage Wonderful. ##### Patricia K. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen T. 30 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Deceptively spacious and beautifully presented I had a worry that the cottage might be a little small but we had loads of room due to the layout being over three floors. The decor was smart and we had everythign we needed. It was very hot the day we arrived so it was particularly good to have the lounge in the basement. A few little niggles, none of them dealbreakers. There was a lot of noise from the pub at the back on Saturday night, which was annoying. While everything was very clean, the towels smelled a little musty. Parking was a little challenging but we had been given information about alternatives, which was fair enough. ##### Helen T.
