Once inside the fridge needed to be cleaned before we could put any food inside. The microwave has seen better days and is very rusty and Iâm not sure it is safe to use. Apart from this moan our time at the hideaway was very enjoyable. The cottage is very spacious and comfy, and is in a prime location for walking into town. The added bonus of having a parking space, did away with the pressure of finding a space on very busy streets.

We loved the quirky decor and the furniture was comfy in the lounge However, the mattress was awful, you could feel every spring and had no support
