The cottage is very comfortable and spacious and a great location. It would just benefit from having more kitchen facilities please: tea towels (one just isnât enough for a week!) A kitchen towel, oven gloves (a must!), kitchen scissors, some sharp knives. More dishes and plates. Tesco was very useful to us.
