Shame about the spiders and numerous cobwebs. Very comfortable bed (a bonus) uncomfortable settee (unfortunate).

Warm clean well equipped cottage. Good information pack to help with any questions. Great garden if you take your dog. If you like walking this is a great base location. Recommend the Ship pub, the Sloop and the Shed restaurant.

The cottage has generally everything required. It's not a criticism but an ironing board would be useful, more clothes hanging space or wardrobe and a plastic spatula as it's difficult to get eggs out of frying pan with the wooden ones provided. But throughly enjoyed our stay.
