The cottage is praised for being well-equipped with modern utilities and everything needed for a pleasant stay. However, a few guests noted the bathroom's distance from the bedrooms and the temperamental WiFi, slightly impacting the score.

    Kirsty was welcoming (thanks for the cake - rated 5* by my grandson) and always on hand to help if needed. Cake and cottage deserve five stars - no question!
