The cottage was also very clean. For two there was plenty of room but it would have been a squeeze for four adults. Second bedroom was tight. We enjoyed the artwork. Excellent location.

The induction hob is a nightmare to use!

Think the instructions for the operations of the boiler and the oven could be simplified, and some people with mobility issues could have a problem in the cottage. Overall very clean, tidy and well equipped.
