Ice box door in the fridge is broken leading to the fridge not performing well. The property is difficult to find on first arrival in the dark on an unknown road and maybe need to add to directions something like 'lookout for the white marker stones at the entrance to the drive' The cottage is very warm, cosy, clean and has everything you would need for a stay. The owner kindly left a selection of 'goodies' as a welcome pack.
