Lovely generally and renovated a while ago to a high quality and style. We really enjoyed our stay here, however there a few maintenance and cleaning issues and frustrating to see these had been raised in previous reviews and haven't been addressed. The list of dog rules (only provided fully when arriving) means this isn't really a dog-friendly cotRead moretage, and the issues with the hot-tub maintenance (poor jet pressure, broken cover) reduced our enjoyment of staying here.

Outside area really disappointing, overgrown with weeds, dirty and hot tub cover split in two and ripped, jets not working, and water full of leaves. Current condition nothing like what is advertised. Most disappointing thing is this is not knew to the owners as other recent feedback echos what we found, so the owners have clearly done nothing to aRead moreddress this.

On main road and access down lane to garden . Interior great but garden area not pet friendly . Dogs not allowed on furniture or in bedroom . Garden access is out of front door and walk to back garden access gate so dogs need to be controlled . I would say dog accepted not dog friendly. Overall the cottage is great for couples who are happy to travRead moreel as we did . Both garden and hot tube need attention we dont use due to issues . Welcome basket lovely and well positioned for travelling around . Hide
