Everything was as described with a comfy bed and very pretty little garden area to read a book or sit in the sun. The cottage has all you need for a relaxing stay. The Wi-Fi is rural so don’t expect to stream your favourite TV show (but you’re in a place conducive to reading and relaxing so should be throwing away the device for the duration of your stay and enjoying the tranquility) Road noise was not an issue as other guests have commented. Hosts had great communication and were very gracious. Thank you. ##### Brylee B.

Nice location, although next to the by-pass road, the intermittent traffic does not bother you. There is everything you need for a short to medium length stay and it is no problem to supply your own linen as requested. Check-in process and departure were simple and easy - the information sent out on booking, and that supplied at the studio are an absolute guide to get through these processes. We were lucky enough to meet the owners - who were staying in the adjacent property at the time and they were very welcoming, friendly, and helpful...but also treated you with the utmost respect and privacy at all times. A GREAT STAY - THANK YOU. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO THERE AGAIN!! ##### Rachel V. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Clive B. 21 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Very comfortable but … Apart from a token kitchen with no hob, this is a well equipped cottage with nice touches throughout. The concerns are the‘traditional’ practice of charging extra for bedding ie burying part of the actual cost for overseas visitors in the small print; the lack of key collection information until after arrival (stressful for oldies); noise from trucks on the adjacent main road can also be intrusive. As former owners of holiday cottages for many years it is clear that this property is run for the convenience of the owner not the guest. ##### Clive B.
