8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Nov 2025
Everything was lovely a lovely break in good location Only a couple of little niggles. The cottage information stated a welcome pack there was not one Upon asking we were told they stopped doing that due to Covid and had not resumed it This information would of been useful as we would of sourced the basics milk etc had we known and not had to go get milk etc before we could have a drink Also no instructions on how to operate oven only statement in cottage information saying the oven and TV are standard as we do not have these models it took a bit of sorting So had to mark down a little due to these issurs

We had a lovely break here recently, the cottage was warm and welcoming. Mark is the perfect host, very helpful and friendly. The only reason it is not a full 5 stars is due to the shower being in the bedroom, although this was in the description it was quite unusual(not en suite) I would also have liked more plates and cutlery as there are only 4 plates and you need more if you have a dishwasher ideally. I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arose, and highly recommended.

We had a fantastic time in this beautiful old cottage. We had everything we needed: large well equipped kitchen, woodburner in the living room, spacious bedrooms. Nice view from the windows and Cute Bunnies in the garden :) The owner was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely go back in the future.

Vrbo was the only week link, failing to take payment in the first 2 attempts, followed by complete lack of communication regarding access procedures for the property, despite my having asked repeatedly online and via email. Eventually this was resolved on the day by contacting cottages.com instead
Otherwise, the property was truly excellent and our host utterly charming and accommodating
