Another concern was the downstairs shower which leaked badly needing the access water moped up with towels. The house would benefit from a welcome pack with instructions on the heating, dish washer, coffee machine etc. We choose this property because it was within walking distance from friends but will not be returning.

Bedrooms are extremely spacious and wonderful that they all have TV's. It would be perfect for dogs if there was an enclosed area

Cottage was lovely and warm, beds so comfy, the 2 bedrooms downstairs where great for our family of 8, especially our 91 year old mum. Walkin shower and toilet downstairs, plenty of towels. 2 spacious bedrooms upstairs, 2 singles, 1 king-size, also a bathroom with shower over bath and a toilet. The kitchen was great for cooking family meals, it has everything you need, everything is of a high standard. We recommend parking on the road until the warm weather as the drive is in the process of being resurfaced. Loved our stay and will definitely stay here again. Thank you.
