Overall Rating
Excellent
We found this cottage on bookings.com, but it is advertised on many different sites. Lots of photos there, which are a true representation. Large well equipped kitchen. Generous welcome pack with teas and coffee, milk, a large bowl of fresh fruit, scones and scotch pancakes with butter and jam, breakfast cereals, and samples of local gin, vodka and whisky, together with ice and mixers. Very clean, well decorated , light and comfortable. Very good electric lighting of daylight quality. Dogs are welcome, and there is a dog walking field on the host's land.
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
There are 2 steps within the cottage to get down into the kitchen, but our host had supplied a steel ramp to allow access for wheelchair/rollator. Some people may find the low comfortable leather sofa a bit challenging to climb out of. Bedrooms good size for access, and very comfortable.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
Off road parking is on loose chippings, beside the house, which is very close to the road. Access to garden is via the kerb and back through a secure gate. Care would need to be taken as you move from the car to the garden. Once through the gate , there is a substantial accessible non-slip wooden ramp up to the door.
Accessible Toilets
Excellent
large fully equipped wetroom with comfort height toilet and all necessary grab rails. Host supplied a shower chair. Second cloakroom in cottage.
Staff
Excellent
Host lives locally, and came within a few minutes when we needed assistance. Nothing seems too much trouble for him.
Additional Information
Good well equipped utility room with detergent etc supplied. washer and dryer, and a washing line outside.
