We had a wonderful time at the cottage, the grounds were fantastic and the abbey was fascinating to look around. The only thing to be aware of is that in order to get to and from the cottage whilst the abbey is closed is via a gate with a key code, moving a bollard, and then a gate with a padlock. It wasn’t a problem for us but might be for some people. Also there had been heavy rain before we arrived and the drive way to park at the back of the property was very water logged.
