Mrs Sankey
A wonderful cottage. Great location and a cosy comfortable space.
Mr Coppin
Good welcome pack, excellent towels and linen, very well equipped kitchen (except dishwasher), rotary drier and pegs a useful addition. On the whole very satisfactory but starting to look a bit tired and in need of TLC. Upstairs bathrooms for instance.
Mrs Klerkefors
This cottage is good value for the location and number of people that it holds but do not expect any luxuries!
