  • Ann

    Everything we needed was provided and in a good position for the shops etc. The only problem I found the downstairs toilet too low.

  • Edward

    the only thing which would have been nice was a mop or queazy as when entering in the rain especially with a dog, no means of wiping up the wet floor, as if anyone staying this week will find out as the force act is for rain most of the week. it would have been nice to find a visiter's book, only small things, but overall BRILLIANT.

  • Yvonne

    It was home from home. Excellent facilities, everything we could have wished for in a holiday cottage.
