A really nice comfortable cottage, a few damp patches need looking at, nothing serious but will need sorting.

All in all a relaxing few days away & we got to catch up with our relatives.

We loved this delightful little cottage.

It is so homely and well equipped. We didn't really use anything because we were only there for a couple of days and ate out, but it was all there if needed. The secluded garden is a delight and it was so incredibly quiet, even the birds didn't sing early doors, although there were plenty about! The area is beautiful - a shortish climb up the road takes you to the most stunning views. All in all, thoroughly charming.

Lavender cottage is a very well equipped cottage.

The garden is wonderful & dog friendly. The kitchen is well equipped too.It is a very comfortable cottage. We did have a problem with tv which was out of action until the day after our arrival.The owner dealt with this promptly & a new part was fitted on the satellite dish. The window in the main bedroom only opens about an inch because the fascia board outside is too low & doesn't allow the window to open. This is an issue in terms of fresh air & also means the window cannot be used as an escape route in the event of a fire.We felt this is an issue which needs addressing. It was very hot during our week's stay & to not be able to open the window was an issue for us.
