"We both loved the location. The property was clean and well equipped for our stay. Lovely spacious rooms. We would use again. There was a damp smell in the property, and a sewerage smell when the back door was open into the kitchen!!. We still had a great stay within the grounds of the estate. And I'm sure Liz the host will look into anything I've mentioned, to improve it for her next guests"

"First time we have never given a 5 star review for Cottages.com accommodation. Cottage is in a lovely area, decor a little tired.
