Cottage was wonderful. Seating and dining area was very comfortable for six adults. The photos don’t do justice to the cottage. It far exceeded our expectations . We had a really lovely Christmas here and the weather was superb for sunrises and sunsets.

Very disappointed with the standard of the property considering it is rated as 5 star. Generally not cleaned to a good standard and the garden was untidy with the grass not having been cut. A lack of adequate cooking utensils, in particular pots and pans made food preparation difficult. The property requires a thorough clean and refurbishment in some areas. Would rate as 3 stars at best
