Say nothing at all. Needless to say WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND GOING HERE

Good, clean and well-equipped cottage and great swimming pool. However, it is unacceptable to even mention the tennis court as a facility as it was in an unplayable condition, which was disappointing. Also, loose paving stones, especially on the steps, need fixing as an accident could happen. Final comment is that if you state 'no pets' you should also warn customers that you have a dog that wanders around the garden. No matter how well-behaved Digby is, some people may have a problem with dogs.
