Lovely little house, lots of character, very clean and cosy!
Only complaint for elderly parents was that the staircase was very steep. The housekeeper was lovely and really helpful with the few small queries we did have. Would definitely recommend

Herston Rise is a great size cottage.
Herston Rise is a great size cottage. Beautiful bedrooms with lovely bedding. The shower had great power.
I'm not whether it was due to the cottage being shut during lockdown but there was an unusual smell in the lounge. The kitchen was well equiped. Plenty of trays for the oven etc.
It was listed as dog friendily, but on the morning we were due to arrive I had an email with a welcome pack which said dog were not allow up stairs this had not been mentioned before. Also the enclosed garden was actually access to the next door cottage. So when our dog was in the garden a person who I believed to be a gardener just wondered through. It was just a bit unexpected.
Lovely patio area with table and chairs.Useful things like pegs etc. Provided.
We were not allow into the until 5pm and we had to leave by 9am due to covid and we understood this. But considering the extra time for cleaning, I felt the were a few things were missed. The basics were fine but attention to detail was needed.
Many positives with this cottage.
