We stayed at Cowleaze Cottage over the February half term and whilst the weather was pretty awful, the break was great because of the delightful cottage. It is has everything you would want from a country cottage for both the winter (open fireplace) and summer (fantastic garden), well equipped kitchen, 3 bathrooms, very large and comfortable livingRead more room with 2 areas to sit (in front of the fireplace or in front of the TV). The bedrooms are spacious and the beds very comfortable. We wil be back ! Hide

This a great property with lots of space a lovely garden and lots of equipment. The plumbing not great for people who like hot showers. The approach roads are not for the for the faint hearted. There is a barbecue not mentioned in the house details so did not use. Not obvious how you disposed of the ash which was left by previous guests. Tea towelsRead more hidden in a cupboard upstairs. Kings Arms well worth a visit for dinner. Hide
