Presumably the cost of the accommodation is based on having the use of a hot tub ? The property was also still being advertised as having it. Secondly the property was advertised as "pet friendly" but a notice inside the cottage said that pets are not allowed upstairs. This meant the first 3 nights of our week's stay involved us having to listen to our dog whimpering downstairs while we tried to sleep upstairs and much broken sleep. Not the very relaxing holiday we hoped for.

The laminate flooring was a worry to the dogs! Skidding and noisy. The double bed has a severe creak when getting in and out. Makes you jump every time! The mattress is ok but beginning to âlumpâ. The cottage was beautifully clean and the rubbish/ recycling/ dog poo systems very good. Kitchen scissors required. Overall, a great stay !
