The cottage was comfortable and clean with most facilities yould wish for. the bed was very soft for us but that is a personal opinion.

Cottage had everything we needed The only issue we had was there was only 1 blind in the bedroom With a street light outside it was too light until about 1am when it went off

G heating/hob etc.we were cold and couldn't work heating No blind in bedroom (broken) with street light outside Kettle lid broken Oven door leaky (burnt my hand) Although not expected, but a nice touch would be enough washing up lqd, more than 1 tea towel and milk in the fridge on arrival. Also a guest book for feedback in the cottage would be nice. It's a lovely cottage and with small improvements would be a great place to stay
