    “Very nice cottage, has everything you need.”

    One comment I would make is that the landing head height is very restrictive for the taller person, this also applies going up and down the stairs. We arrived on a Friday and the road noise was quiet over the weekend, but come Monday traffic noise started at 06:30 and continued to gone 9;00. Ear plugs are supplied but I was looking for a quiet place in the country. Because of the road noise and height issues we would not return.

    Thank you for your review and for your kind comments about the cottage and its facilities. As the property is a traditional barn conversion, it does retain some original character features including lower beams and restricted head height in a couple of areas, which can be less suitable for guests over 6ft tall. Many guests do, however, particularly enjoy these original features and the character they bring to the cottage. Regarding the road noise, the cottage is located in the countryside but there can occasionally be weekday commuter traffic during busier morning periods. We provide earplugs for lighter sleepers, although we appreciate this may not have met your expectations for a quieter rural stay. We are sorry the property was not quite the right fit for you, but we do appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback and hope future guests will continue to enjoy the cottage’s character, comfort and semi-rural setting.
