Second time at this beautifully decorated and tastefully furnished cottage. Paved garden now with new outdoor furniture - liked it a lot. Appreciated the welcome pack (chutney, coffee, wine). However, TV did not work and mattresses still too thin. Otherwise I would have given 10 throughout.

should be warning - bathroom out the back and most important - very very steep stairs - my son and family stayed there while we were in another rented place around the corner - I am reasonably mobile but with joint replacements - 75 years and have no wish to fall and the stairs would have been very treacherous - i would NOT have been able to stay there We enjoyed
