The cottage was in a lovely location and we had a great time, we had to park the car just up the road but you could see it from the living room, the White Horse pub was lovely and the food was great.

Good location, parking is very close by. Tastefully decorated, inkeeping with the age of the cottage, but the sofa was rather hard & uncomfortable, the TV also had its "challenges", so after a long day, couldnt really relax.

Rose cottage is in a good location for getting out and about. It was clean and tidy and had a homely feel. The cottage is located on a side road but the road is a lot busier than you would expect. There is a great pub down the same road that has a nice restaurant. It was a nice place to stay and we enjoyed the break.
