“The cottage was lovely.”
The weather was generally hot and sunny during our stay. However, it did rain over two nights and early one morning. After each of these occasions there was a noticeable damp smell in the cottage. Given its age, I guess this is understandable.
It was lovely to see the peacocks around the village. However, they were extremely noisy 24/7. If, like me, you are a light sleeper then this may not be the cottage for you. Obviously, this is not a situation the owner is in control of, but I did find it an issue.
The 13.5 tog duvets were just too heavy considering the temperature was in the mid to late 20's throughout the week. Perhaps the owner would consider some lighter-weight ones for the summer months.
All that said, we enjoyed our week. The cottage was well equipped and it was nice to have easy and secure parking in the rear carport. Our dog loved running around in the garden. As another guest has mentioned, however, the garden furniture is in a poor state and could do with replacing.
