Lovely cottage and in a great location. It's a great size for 8 people and has a really nice flow to it. The quality of the furniture and kitchen items was excellent. There are a couple of issues we have flagged to the owner ie the dishwasher really needs replacing and all the sinks, taps etc need the limescale removing. Simple things to fix. Having said that we loved it and have booked again for next year.

Very comfortable stay. Accomodation was perfect for elderly Dad who needs a wheeled frame to get about.
