“Lovely location with superb views across the valley with a massive herd of deer in the field at the bottom of the garden.”
Access almost directly opposite the front door into a field that's ideal for dog walking. Pub, village shop and café all within 10 minutes walking distance. Many other villages and pubs/restaurants within 20 minutes car ride.
Very comfortable cottage with really lovely beds.
Good use of the available space, but please do take note of all the warnings about the stairs up to the bedrooms. Also, I know it's in the description that there isn't one, but a washing machine would be useful.

Lovely lounge/dining area on the lower ground floor and the built in dog cage under the stairs is a fantastic idea.
Couple of minors/suggested improvements are:
1) While generally clean (bedsheets were absolutely crisp and clean) there were some very large, old cobwebs in the corner of the living room and above the window in the front bedroom. Definitely not the kind that has appeared overnight, obviously been there a while. Also, thick dust on the TV stand and also the wood burner. Clearly not been touched in a long time.
2) Curtains in the kitchen and front bedroom hanging partially off the rails with broken hooks.
3) In the bathroom, the shower head is very badly limescaled and actually could do with replacing. The toilet flush handle is unsecured. And the big no no, the toilet seat itself is loose. I believe I've read other older reviews that mention these last 2 points but nothing has been done.
4) Dog owners beware, there's a small gap in the fencing halfway down the garden below the conifer hedging on the left.
Other than these fairly minor points that certainly didn't spoil the holiday and could be easily rectified, we had a fantastic stay. The welcome pack is a particularly nice touch. Thank you!
