Hearthstone East Cottage

We really enjoyed this quirky cottage. despite its age it was clean, cosy, and spacious. Appreciated the historical notes. Very interesting. Talking to neighbour Lance was also fascinating as he carefully renovates next door in keeping with the Grade II listing. Ideal for special celebrations. Kitchen well-equipped. The fire already laid up. However, surprised that other basics seemed to be overlooked*.All nearby NT locations well worth a visit. We were lucky with the weather. Thank you! *Thanks for the pint of milk on arrival. The jars for initial tea/coffee/washing machine tablets etc were empty; no washing up liquid or spare rubbish bags etc. These and specific instructions for house (rather than generic holiday company sheets)/manuals/recycling arrangements would have been helpful. The local comments need a little updating. The dining chairs need checking - many are wobbly and may need re-glueing.

We felt like we were staying in a fairytale home. Our 3 granddaughters thoroughly enjoyed playing with their fairies indoors & out. A little challenging for the grandparents but very worth the experience.
