Stayed 3 nights at Richmond Cottage with my elderly mother and my dog. We were impressed with the welcome pack which included flowers, wine, milk, bread, butter, ground coffee and tea bags.Mother had the downstairs bedroom. The steps down to bathroom and kitchen were deep but she managed. I had the large double bedroom upstairs with its tiny ensuite shower room. The kitchen was well appointed and everything we needed was there and it all worked. The garden is mostly laid to paving but needs a tidy up. I pulled out some of the bigger weeds like thistles. It was fine for the dog to get some air and it was secure, though the only grass at the property is at the front which is open to the car park. There’s a tatty but usable old table and chairs outside, but we hardly used these due to the rain. The TV was easy to use. The central heating was needed as my mother felt cold. I managed to get the heating working. I liked the old beams downstairs. The bedrooms were furnished with seemingly random pieces. Curtains were basic, not blackout and didn’t suit the place at all.The general feel of the place was a bit shabby (in a scruffy not chic way) but it was pretty clean.The first night there was a wedding party at the White Horse pub so it was noisy but the other nights it was quiet. Sunday lunch was great at the pub.Dog bowls, dog bed provided though I brought my own.Parking was fine though some pub car park users were a bit inconsiderate.A disappointment for me was that many footpaths in the area were completely blocked to dogs by fencing in and around the stiles which meant I had to walk my dog on roads and even to get to the canal. Knowing this now I might not stay again unless I was stuck for dog-friendly accommodation in the area. I have relatives living 20 minutes away so the location was otherwise ideal for a short holiday to visit them. My dog seemed to enjoy it - her first holiday cottage!
