Shire Cottage

The cottage had everything we needed for a party of 4. Bed comfortable. Everywhere was clean and well presented and cozy feel. All kitchen facilities good. Hot water needed to be boosted to ensure 4 showers but once we found how to do that it was no bother. Not a modern cottage deco but very endearing and we loved it. Great location.

We've stayed in Shire Cottage a few times but the first time we have stayed near Christmas and it was lovely to have a tree and decorations to welcome us. We were also pleased to find the sofa and chairs had been changed and were much more comfortable. The cottage is well laid out and had everything we needed. It is also warm and has the option of a wood burning stove for extra character. The only thing letting it down are the beds. Especially the single beds which are uncomfortable and creak loudly when you turn over. It would be perfect if they were replaced. Oh, and a bigger bin in the kitchen wouldn't go amiss!

Clean and very warm cottage with great layout. Lots of hot water. That said the cottage needs some TLC. You have to look beyond curtains hanging off rails. The crockery / cutlery and glass situation resembles a jumble sale and poor. Pots and pans for cooking on the other hand are good. A couple of miles from Broadway so good location but beware very scruffy yard and outlook. All of that said we looked beyond the flaws and enjoyed our stay.
