House was fantastic,views brilliant. Slight problem with the dishwasher as bottom drawer didn't roll properly, approach road up to the cottage rather bumpy, televisions seemed to come on by themselves. We had a great family holiday and the hot tub was a particularly favourite with all.

Cot Cottage was excellent, it more than met our expectations. The rural location and it's five ensuite bedrooms and open plan living areas were ideally suited for our family holiday. The children could play safely outside and we all enjoyed the barbecue and hot tub. There were a few anxious moments negotiating the farm track up to Cot Cottage on arrival but all three vehicles managed with a bit of care. I would certainly use Cot Cottage again.
