The narrow country lane does mean you have to take great care when dog walking and parking due to the lack of visibility and fast moving farm machinery etc.
As to the accommodation itself we have mixed feelings,mostly good. The bedroom is very comfortable and a good night's sleep was easily attained, the lack of street lights was wonderful. The decking area made for some very pleasant evenings. The kitchen area and bathroom are very well equipped with the entire accommodation being light and modern. All in all a very pleasant place to stay and as mentioned earlier very well situated to explore the area. There are some great pubs nearby, all dog friendly and serving some wonderful food. The Hatton Arms is worth a mention, especially after a walk at Hatton locks and along the canal.
We did have one particular problem and that was with the tv and internet. The accommodation is described as having a "humax" box. It didn't, it did have a sky+HD box which didn't work so all we could access was tv via the internet which also didn't work. We informed the owners and the husband came in, looked at the problem admitted it wasn't good enough and told us there was nothing he could do, he would inform BT and "speak to his son who knew more than he". We where also informed that there was an electrical storm two weeks prior to our arrival which had taken out the satellite dish and cable and possibly the sky box.
All this had happened two weeks earlier so knowing paying guests where booked in why wasn't it all put right at the time the damage occurred. As we spent our days out and about with our dogs enjoying the area all we wanted to do was put our feet up in the evening and possibly switch the tv on.....when we did switch the tv on it was unwatchable due to constant buffering.
This did take some of the enjoyment out of our stay and we found it frustrating that despite knowing about the issue nothing was done, hopefully things will be repaired for future guests.
Would we book again....In all honesty probably not.
