The cottage was of a high standard, was comfortable and had everything we needed. It also had great views over to the fells. Furthermore, transport links were ideal. The only negative comments that we have was that the external refuse had not been collected so that the bins were full. We did report this via the helpline number. The ice box in the fridge also needed defrsoting.
