Guests consistently mention the property's spotless condition and the sense of comfort it provides. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The cottage's location is frequently highlighted as quiet and peaceful, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. Its setting in a pretty village and proximity to nature are particularly appreciated.
Comfort is a strong point for this property, with guests finding the beds comfy and the cottage cosy. However, some guests mention that the sofas could be more comfortable, slightly impacting the score.
The property is well-equipped for a family holiday, but some guests mention issues with TV reception and suggest the addition of a dishwasher. The presence of a secure shed for bikes and a spacious kitchen are positives.

We were visiting family and the cottage was the perfect place for some quiet time after busy days. Very comfortable, with all the equipment, crocks and cutlery required. One minor room for improvement would be the provision of extra bags for the rubbish bins in the kitchen.

Everywhere was very clean, warm and well kept. We enjoyed our stay in the peace and quiet. We enjoyed sitting watching the ducks, geese and birds and their antics on the large pond however if our small grandchildren has been with us we would have been very concerned about the open access to the pond. Just a couple of little niggles, the kitchen was a little lacking in dishes that could be used in the oven and the heating controls were overly complex.

It's a comfortable cottage with good facilities and very well located on the edge of Norley village in beautiful countryside but only 25 mins by car (or less) to all major facilities. No dishwasher, though, so be prepared to do lots of washing up if cooking.
