The cottage is a lovely space. Nice big kitchen and doors opening out to patio and hot tub. Lovely and warm and cosy. The bedroom is a very good size and the bed comfy, a bit to hard if you suffer with back problems, could be less firmer. A generous size lawned area if one has dogs.

We very much enjoyed our stay - the cottage itself is excellent and its a great location. The only point wed make for future guests is that, if you want to be outside during the day (as you probably would in the Summer months), the traffic noise is surprisingly loud from the lane, the B Road and the M5. Not a problem for us as we were mostly insideRead more sheltering from the deluges. Also dont rely too much on the shop opposite: limited range and exorbitant prices. Hide
