Parish cottage

The cottage was a lovely old building. Well equipped. The road noise was a bit loud as the windows had gaps but overall a good stay.

The is very charming and situated in a lovely village with a nice pub and other local amenities close by. The cottage is in need of some updating- there isn't a shower over the bath, although they have attached a plastic showered, there isn't a TV and when we visited the oven didn't work. It is in need of some decorating- paint work is peeling etc. and there are many cobwebs which suggest it probably needs dusting/cleaning more regularly. But, on the plus side the main bed is new and comfy and there are a couple of comfy chairs plus a kitchen table and chairs to use. So, all in all it's perfectly serviceable, especially for a night or two like we had.
