Not good. I've never had to leave a cottage at 09:00 in the morning and strip the beds! The cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived and had everything we needed. The negatives of the cottage are the kitchen is definitely in need of a refurb and the tap dripped a lot constantly. We couldn't find the bins to dispose of our rubbish but not a major issue.

Acouple of points that were annoying to us were a)the kitchen tap which dripped constantly and moved and was declared ok by the owner. B) a knife sharpener would be useful as all the knives were blunt. C)9 am is too early to leave considering you can't get in til 4pm.....and you are expected to clean through.

Everything was provided for, with all the necessities including tea, coffee and milk . The en suite shower was great we all ended up using the shower. It was nice to relax and unwind with lots of family games made available . Highly recommended for a relaxing break with all home comforts made available. Thanks so much to the hosts for a great staycation.
