A super well-loved cottage. You can sense the cottage was very well maintained with well equipped kitchen. We love the massive living room and board games downstairs and the bedrooms were lovely size. The beds were standard doubles so it was a bit tricky for my elderly parents to roll in bed but otherwise no complaint!

It was perfect. We had an early morning flight from Bristol and it was just around the corner. Self check in and out made everything really simple and the accomodation was perfect. Love my little touches throughout showing an extra special effort had been made. Great shower, which is really important to us.

This is my go to, for my long trips from Cornwall. It offers a break, where for a reasonable price i get a large warm quiet room with a lovely shower. There are pubs close by if you don't fancy eating at the service station and cheap petrol too.
Probably not suitable for people with mobility problems as the showers are over the baths.
