An extremely well equipped and immaculately clean property. Melanie is a very friendly and helpful host. Stairs in property will be a real challenge if you have mobility issues as the bathroom is downstairs .

An immaculately kept and furnished cottage with well surfaced approach drive, and easy parking. Ideal for two people, but a party of four would probably struggle a bit as there is only one toilet. Kitchen could be better lit, but is adequately equipped, although we did virtually no cooking as a holiday should not mean struggling over a hot stove !

The Dairy is an adequately equipped cottage with a smallish lounge, but certainly adequate for two people, especially, in the sunny weather when the garden is a real bonus (although at times the A30 road noise was very noticeable).
