    “Beautiful little cottage.”

    However, problems with the front and back doors which were difficult to open, close and lock. Also central heating was an issue and found it hard to keep warm as it kept switching off. No information at all about waste disposal and recycling. The stairs really steep and I scraped the skin off my leg when it touched the stairs mats.. But we are in our eighties and younger people will probably manage better than us. Lovely location.

    Hi, we are sorry that you had problems whilst staying at Rose Cottage. The recent very wet weather combined with the fact that the property has been empty whilst we fitted a brand new central heating system has allowed the doors to swell and thus making them hard to open. This is being fixed now. As I mention the central heating is new and we did have a few teething issues. The stairs are steep but that is one thing we cant change as this property is very old!
