The property is in a great location with off street parking - and the hosts were very responsive to messages via the Vrbo app in advance of our stay. We look forward to returning.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Alex's holiday home was fully equipped with everything you needed for a stay. Takeaways and pubs just around he corner, great walks to take the dogs out. And don't let me to even start on the upstairs bathroom... TV and a jacuzzi bath add a fire to warm yourself up after a rather cold day and it all adds up to the wonderful short break. Hoping to return soon.

Very nice stay at this cottage couldn't really fault the place, the cottage has everything we needed for a good holiday
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2022
Value for money but could do with some decor updates and extremely noisy floor boards fixed as only one bathroom in main sleeping area upstairs so every body woken.
Functional and well equipped, larger double beds and better fitting sheets on singles would improve comfort but overall a pleasant stay with 5 adults and 2 kids. Nice picnic and barbecue garden.
