Lovely cottage with everything you need, well equipped and immaculate. Lovely little village with friendly people. Beautiful walks locally. Only thing I could recommend is that the ad for the cottage uses its log fire as a selling point but provides no logs. Surely a small bag or even saying logs are available to purchase. ##### Karen Mallinson ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean H.

The cottage sleeps 4 but the living room kitchen is quite small. We were ok as there were just 2 of us and our dog. If there were 4 people you have to move the settees to pull the dining table out so you can eat there. The shower cabinet is a corner shaped one and very small considering the size of the bathroom. During the winter months there can be condensation which gathers on the skylights and drips down on you in the double bedroom if you don't close the blind and also in the living room if you sit under the skylight. However the cottage has everything you need and is very cosy.
