Well equipped and great to have a parking spot outside as well as a washing machine. Cottage is listed as suitable for 4 people, when 3 would really be the max as both beds are quite small: one is a standard double (room would be better with.a king size bed) and the other is a smaller bed. Very limited hanging space for clothes. We did experience some noise from the next door property which I think is also a holiday property.
