Everything was great.
Everything was great. The fireplace and bath tub were a highlight. Our only suggestion is to replace the double mattress, as it was very uncomfortable and we could feel the springs in our backs. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A cozy place.
A cozy place. Everything you need in a getaway cottage. A clean and well equipped place and with WiFi (which was a bonus for walk research). The local pub was a stones throw away but was quiet and respectable. Would recommend the butchers in the next village along in Holloway. Nigel the owner keep us informed and with his help the pace of the holiday was as we wanted, relaxing ! Would recommend the place without hesitation.
