Well presented cottage with everything you need to enjoy a week long stay as a family. The host was lovely, easy to talk to when there was a water supply issue outside of her control, kept us updated, and even offered us to take a shower at her own home a short drive away from the holiday let if we needed to. Only thing that would of made this cottage perfect, would be a new sofa suite, as they had all sunk and were not very comfortable.

DVD player didn't have an HDMI cable. Clock didn't work. Sink in downstairs toilet could do with attention. All small things but property could do with a bit of attention. No reflection on the property itself as we enjoyed our stay, but the road is extremely narrow and larger vehicles would struggle. Photograph of the parking area is quite deceptive.
