Sleeps great. The only thing I would change is the drying rack for dishes is a bit small. The garden is safe for the dog. Neighbours very friendly. Thank you very much for letting us spend a few days in this wonderful place.

Nice local walk 5 mins from cottage to Longlands Lake. House decor is unique and gave me lots of ideas. Really lovely place to stay, comfortable with everything you need.

No wardrobes in bedrooms just hooks on wall in each room with 5 wooden coat hangers on each, the drawers in main bedroom full of bedding and covers only 2 available to use, no drawers in twin room just narrow shelves to use. The surrounding area is a bit run down which is a shame as the the scenery is stunning.
