It is extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and so warm during what was a particularly cold spell when we were staying there. The extra touches like biscuits, milk, wine and flowers on arrival were very welcome. Ro, the host is exremely helpful and always available should there be any problems. I would highly recommend the cottage and we will return without a doubt.
