Lovely property in beautiful surroundings. Comfortable beds and lounge area. There is a humming noise from a dehumidifier which is constant and can be heard when using the dining room. Owners were responsive when I enquired about it. We had a lovely stay at sunnydene .

It was a lovely house - very homely and comfortable. The stairs into the loft were very steep - might be worth mentioning so that people with mobility issues are aware.

I would recommend Sunnydene for the location. House interior was great, especially the bedrooms and bathrooms. Just sort out the humming noise, courtyard and front garden and youre in a winner. Better garden furniture would help too for the front of the house

The cottage is in a beautiful location and Dan the manager was very helpful and accommodating when I contacted him regarding a stair gate and a late check out. Overall we were very happy with the cottage which was well equipped with kitchen utensils and crockery, however there were only 3 pint glasses, a few more would be helpful. Good sized wine gRead morelasses which were very much appreciated! Hide
