The only couple of things that let it down were: 1) On the email before we arrived we were told to bring our own tea towels, toilet roll, etc which I did bring from home but these were already provided. 2) We had to provide our own dishwasher tablets and bin liners. Little things like this would be helpful to be provided. 3) We also had to strip our beds and put all our dishes away. This was fine but with a 10am check out it was quite rushed especially with 3 kids, I feel we spent a lot of money to stay at the property so this could have been done included in the cleaning once we had left as the other guests wouldnât check in until 3pm. They are only minor and all in all we had a lovely stay here and would return.

The cottage was as described, had everything we needed and very comfortable. There were 8 adults and 1 dog, and enough room to cater for everyone. Lloyd was quick to respond to any questions. Would highly recommend.
