Comfortable, well equipped cottage. Great location for accessing day trips out to countryside or other attractions. We hope to stay here again as we had a really enjoyable stay.

The sofa was of a decent quality and the bed was comfy. A couple of firmer pillows could be left as an option as the pillows were very squishy. A couple of suggestions would be a crib sheet of how to use appliances,work heating, and bin use and to check crockery as I had dirty cups with lipstick on them. I did not pick up the fact there was no WiFi so had a surprise. Overall a decent cottage with lovely owners .
