Check in was simple, the cottage was so clean and well set out, kitchen well stocked with equipment, Wi-Fi worked well. There are very little transport links in the village so you will need to drive. The village is so lovely and the cottage is well positioned for local walks, parking and the pub which is amazing. Would throughly recommend this cottage and will book in future.
