This is our sixth year staying in this location, but our first time at this particular cottage since our previous accommodation was sold. The property is very well-presented. The master bedroom offers plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, and the bed and pillows were highly comfortable. However, we would have appreciated the option of a flat sheet, as the duvet got quite hot at night. The second bedroom is on the smaller side, featuring only a small tallboy and a bedside cabinet. Personally, it was a bit too cramped for my parents who joined us.
The shower was spacious, providing plenty of hot water and a choice between two different shower heads.
The kitchen is well stocked. We had a bit of a learning curve with the combined washer/dryer since we don't have this type at home, finding that the towels took a long time too dry. We eventually discovered that the 30-minute quick wash and dry setting worked best. The garden features a small rotary washing line; it initially needed some overhanging branches cut back to be usable, but the gardeners arrived mid-week and sorted this out.
The secure garden was perfect for our dog. Additionally, there is a green directly opposite and a cricket pitch just 100 metres away, which were perfect for early morning and evening dog walks.
We also loved that we could leave the windows securely open while we were out, and parking was convenient right outside the property.
Would we return? Yes, we are already hoping to book again for next year!
