The only down side for me as I am not a reader was the TV, a smart TV buy locked down that tight you couldn't even get the TV programme guide up unless you had the pin number, it had freeview plus but no wifi connected so only 50% of the channels you would watch, Netflix which is standard now but I could not log into my own account as the TV was not online which was a shame as the property had everything else there is a dvd player inside the TV, but to be fair these days who carries dvds with them, watching Netflix on your phone is a little bit anoying and battery draining, so for me my relaxation is lost in a film so it posed a challenge not so much for my wife who escapes in books.

They both just couldn't do enough for us. The beautiful cottage was very cozy, and all the amenities are at a high standard. My wife & I will certainly be using the cottage again.
