A very lovely barn conversion that when first done would have been stunning. However, over time things need to be done to keep up this standard. Some of which have not been taken care of.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. The cottage is very clean and everything you expect from your holiday accommodation is there. Previous comments about the TV and signal have been fixed and WiFi is strong enough to stream to the Smart TV. Ceiling fans in each room is a nice touch and helps keeps the rooms cool. There is a good size garden fRead moreor drinks/kids to play The location is very rural (which suited us) but all pubs or shops are a drive away. Would highly recommend Hide

The location is fantastic - very quiet and secluded. The property itself was nice but it needs some updating and maintenance. The property was clean but the ceilings and beams were filled with cobwebs and spiders - something my 4 girls were not impressed with. The kitchen is excellent but the electric hob combined with cheap pans does not work wellRead more and the centre sink basin, which used to have an 'InSinkErator' fitted, was blocked. It could be 5 star but currently it's only a 3. Hide

While the cottage is generally very good, we were dissapointed at the views from windows, on one side of the cottage - the lounge & 2 bedrooms look out over a 'green space' shut in by 6ft fence, not at all nice as we 'felt shut in' beyond the fence all you could see were other buildings - one which dominated all all you could see through these windRead moreows with it high corrugated tin roof! The other had small windows. We get the need to keep gates shut but having to padlock them was a pain in & out! Hide

On arrival and throughout the stay, we were very impressed with the cleanliness - everywhere was spotless. The interior was very well equipped and comfortable. Special mention of the kitchen utensils, a great selection with everything anyone could need. A larger garden would have been nice but it was adequate.
