  • "This is smaller of the two cottages."

    Lovely cottage with everything you will. Nice touch of tea, cake and milk for something after long drive. The patio area is nice and the kids area up at the field with trampolines and slides and goals was great. Had great week here apart from people staying in the other cottage head NO thought of others around them. Allowing their children to knock on our window . But that not the worst. Owners have in the handbook no noise after 10pm however they where loud well after this and on couple occasions after 12am. We decided to leave a day early as we could not put up with it anymore. Guess we where unlucky. But as said the cottage was amazing. If anything I would update the TV and maybe a whirligig for putting washing out on as the wee white frame not the best
