Our only concern was that the steep stairs do not have a hand rail, my wife who has slight mobility problems struggled with the stairs

The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were super comfy and the en-suites, were lovely. The village is wonderful too and we visited the Hollybush Inn one evening for drinks and takeaway Chinese. We would definitely recommend this cottage and hope to return again soon.
