The location is very good although the house is on the road and there is some traffic in the morning. Arrival and leaving times are generous. There are many footpaths nearby. The kitchen is a good size with pretty much everything you may need, except egg cups. One can sit out in the garden of an evening (btw, the cushions are in the woodshed to keep them dry). Comfortable double bed and quality linen.

There are renovations going on in the neighbouring property. We have not been warned about them. There was a constant noise of cutting and sanding as well as radio music coming from a speaker on the builder’s truck. If we were not out so much it would have ruined our stay as it certainly was neither a gorgeous or quiet place. There were no curtains in two of the rooms so we used the towels instead. As might be expected for a property this age there are multiple floor levels and structural quirks. The low ceiling was not a problem but the door lintel to the middle bedroom claimed my scalp. Somehow, the cottage is not as comfortable as it could be, but this does not seem to upset Sidney the spider, who only comes out in the evening, but does think he owns the place. Do not get tricked by the quality teas shown on the photos - there are PG bags instead. The cottage is very overpriced and poor value for a large amount of money.

We liked the hiking nearby. Good views of the countryside. We also enjoyed going to the local pub - the Frog

The ceilings in the downstairs rooms were very low. We banged our heads until we learned to stoop while walking. The stairs were steep and had short treads. One of our party slipped and fell down the stairs, and bruised her rib. There should be a hand rail to grab onto. The shower in the bathroom was a long hose in a free standing tub, not really a standup shower.
