Parking is on the road but we found we could squeeze the car close to the gate so it wasn’t a problem. Stairs are steep, as advertised, and there are steps up to the bathroom and one up into the bedroom. A torch is provided should you need it during the night.

    Large kitchen and lounge, open fire if needed and a huge, pretty bedroom with a very comfortable bed. Parking is on the road but we found we could squeeze the car close to the gate so it wasn’t a problem. Stairs are steep, as advertised, and there are steps up to the bathroom and one up into the bedroom. A torch is provided should you need it during the night. Surrounding lanes are typically narrow but a trip (or several) down to Fingle Bridge with its beautiful riverside walks and fabulous pub is well worth it. This was a very welcome, relaxing break and comes highly recommended.
