    “We’ve just had a nice 3 night stay at Fountain View cottage.”

    The area is stunning a lovely quiet spot in the countryside. The community village was lovely with a green, restaurant and a few shops…but not walkable unless you want a longer walk, I would say about 50mins round trip but 5 mins in the car. The cottage itself was very quaint typical old style cottage. Low ceilings and door frames so if you’re tall you need to duck down. The stairwell and floorboards upstairs are all very creaky. The cottage had everything we needed and was nice enough ...

    The area is stunning a lovely quiet spot in the countryside. The community village was lovely with a green, restaurant and a few shops…but not walkable unless you want a longer walk, I would say about 50mins round trip but 5 mins in the car. The cottage itself was very quaint typical old style cottage. Low ceilings and door frames so if you’re tall you need to duck down. The stairwell and floorboards upstairs are all very creaky. The cottage had everything we needed and was nice enough for the 3 days. The cleanliness was ok but not up to scratch. In particular the toilet wasn’t spotless, marks around the back of the seat..not good! Everytime I opened the fridge or cooked in that area I could smell something like urine?? Wasn’t pleasant- maybe a previous dog had weed on the floor and it hadn’t been disinfected properly? There was a stain on the duvet cover and also on the towel.
