It was clean and beds comfortable. We were disappointed with the lack of simple condiments and the convenience of things such as cooking oil in the house when we arrived. The best holiday cottages I have stayed in have had a welcome pack, sugar, milk, tea, coffee condiments and either local biscuits or chocolates. That would have been nice.
