"A beautiful spacious house with all modern conveniences, ideal for 2 couples, plenty of privacy."
During rainy weather we enjoyed our dinners in the conservatory under the glass roof, as if you were dining outside. There is little parking space in the village, so the private parking space is ideal, maybe a bit difficult to maneuver if you want to park 2 cars there. The location is wonderful, so peaceful, and several walks from the doorstep, from easy to more challenging. The Fox and Hounds as a close neighbour is a bonus.

"This is a lovely cottage, obviously renovated and equipped to a high standard but unfortunately it requires some maintenance."
When we arrived and for about 24 hours afterwards, there was a strong smell of heating oil in the first bedroom, we also found mould on the bedroom wall and around the window too.
In the bathroom there had obviously once been an extractor fan as the hole was covered over, but this had caused significant mould in the shower tray and on the shower head, which my husband had to clean before use. The shower door wasn’t attached at the bottom and was only sliding on the top runners, so banged together as you moved it.
There also seems to be quite an alarming leak with peeled paint on the kitchen ceiling which looks to be coming from the same bathroom.
We also found only one battery in the TV remote, a flickering lightbulb in the sitting room and rather more cobwebs that we would have expected.
We found it quite difficult walking round from the parking area to the door of the cottage, as it was a blind bend where traffic seemed to come around rather quickly. If possible the cottage would benefit from a gate through from the side of the patio doors to the parking.
Although not specifically cottage related, we also found out the day before arriving that the Fox and Hounds was closed for a pre Christmas break. This was disappointing as been close to the pub was one of the reasons we booked Wayside Cottage, we also tried Cecilias Pizzas (menu in cottage information) but it was also closed until 1st December.
As a said at the start of this review, you can tell this cottage has been very well renovated to a high standard with nice quality furnishings and fittings but is sadly let down by a lack of maintenance.

"All adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this clean, spacious and comfortable cottage …."
.especially the well equipped kitchen/diner with the large bi fold doors leading out into the garden. However, the shower room inside the main bedroom is in much need of re grouting and the shower head cleaning as the fan doesn’t seem effective enough. A small worry but not one which could not spoil a perfect walking holiday were the tight parking facilities for two cars and the dangerous corner leading from the side door round to the parking area , particularly on a weekend when the motor bikes come roaring through.

"This must be the best cottage we have every stayed in."
Immaculately clean, with fantastic decor and first rate appliances. Kitchen and bathrooms have the wow factor, with both bedrooms having beautiful furniture and very comfortable beds. Good quality furniture in living room with a large TV and very effective log burner. Stayed over New Year and ate at local pub, the Fox and Hounds which we cannot recommend highly enough for both the food and friendliness of staff. The cottage is so popular that when we went in to book for next New Year's Eve, someone had already beaten us to it! Never mind, we'll try for the following year. The property on the Sykes website is classed as 4 star, but would definitely give it a 5+ star.

Really cannot fault this cottage. Even more impressive than the lovely photos in the website listing. Everything you could need for a comfortable and restful stay.

Underfloor heating in all rooms was super luxurious and the bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms were gorgeous, lots of tasteful practical storage. Lovely design details everywhere. Perfect place for a Winter stay and certain it will be perfect too for the warmer months with the bifold doors and pretty terrace garden. We didn’t want to leave. The pub across the road ( 2 mins walk! ) was so cosy and welcoming with great food and drink choices. The village is so picturesque and charming.
