Very clean and so many extras included that you wouldn't noramally think about in the kitchen. The milk & biscuits was a lovely thought for our arrival and even tissues. Weve stayed in several properties that have not had this amount of detail. Very spacious & cosy, it really did feel like home. Lots of information in the folder of places to eat etc. Sadly the Jade chinese was not great but the fish & chips were delicious. We would highly recommend this immaculate cottage.
