Staubsauger und Toaster kaputt, Teppiche dreckig.Terassentüren, die Fluchttüren waren, lieÃen sich nicht öffnen. Der Weg zum Cottage war katastrophal, ohne SUV wäre die Achse gebrochen. Wir würden das Haus nie wieder buchen.

Comfy beds. The fridge freezer is past it's best, very noisy and too cold, froze a lot of the stuff we just wanted to be cool. The caretakers were responsive and helped promptly with some minor hitches.

We particularly enjoyed the hot tub, despite the best effort of the local midges! We were late departing due to an injury, and the owners were very kind and understanding about the confusion and delay on departure.
