This cottage was better than the description. Really clean and sanitised by the owner with an anti viral long term spray that made us feel reassured during our stay. There was a big supply of sanitisers and cleaners in the kitchen and a bottle of hand sanitiser for our use.
The facilities were lovely, pretty bedrooms, each with their own bathroom which made social distancing very easy. There were Molton Brown toiletries in the bathrooms for an added touch of luxury. The lounge was spacious with plenty of seating and large coffee table and there was a big table in the kitchen which would seat 7, but with extra folding chairs if required. We catered for ourselves all week and the kitchen utensils etc were sufficient for a big Sunday roast with crumble for pudding and a birthday celebration mid-week. A mixing bowl would have been useful, but I am sure that if we had asked the owner, she would have provided it immediately!
Really friendly owners who live on site, but were not at all intrusive. We were able to hire a hot tub, which added to the enjoyment. The barbecue was provided, with more than enough charcoal. The log burner had logs for a couple of evenings, but more logs were available. Even the matches and newspapers were provided.
We took our Newfoundland dog who was also made very welcome and was able to run freely in the enclosed garden. There are a lot of sheep in the fields nearby which meant keeping her on a lead, but we were able to find plenty of sheep free walks as well. Very quiet country lanes to walk around with very few cars.
A wonderfully peaceful week full of walks, reading, board games and good food. Just what we wanted.
