  : The cake was a lovely surprise (and delicious) as was the bottle of fizz in the fridge. A beautiful location and everything we needed. We had a lovely weekend.

  : The bottle of Prosecco and chocolate cake welcome pack were a generous gesture from the host (although we don't drink Prosecco, it was appreciated by our local family!) The bed was very comfortable and the shower worked well. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and charming. There was plenty of information provided about the house and locality with ideas of where to eat and places to visit, although in our case we are very familiar with the area, as it was our daughter's wedding at the Gamekeepers Inn which brought us there.
  : Despite the extensive information folder about the cottage, It wasn't made very clear which part of the property belonged to Lavender Cottage and which belonged to the attached home next door, so we were unsure at first about the outside laundry. Fortunately the neighbours were friendly and clarified this for us. Unfortunately the after doing a load of washing we discovered the clothes drier didn't work, but were able to take our wet washing to our daughter's home to dry it. However this could be a problem for other occupants without local friends or relatives. We also could not find a key to open the front door, which meant always having to walk around to the back door to gain entry and rendered the outdoor setting at the front of the house rather unusable, as any food or drink would have to be taken there via the road. The blind in the kitchen was broken which meant there was no means of creating privacy, especially at night when the kitchen light was on, allowing anyone passing by to see straight in.
