A life saver having milk in the fridge as we forgot to pick some up on the way. Madeleine's view had everything we needed for a short stay. Would love to stay again but the only slight niggle is a 4.00pm arrival time, which I missed on booking.

Getting our bags from the car to the cottage was really tricky despite being fit for our age (65) Also we were unable to work the heating & we did feel cold indoors in the evenings.
