A very nice place to stay and we would use it again if we wanted to stay in this beautiful area. There felt to be a lack of connection with the owners as it would have been helpful to have local information and a little instruction on the appliances in the cottage.

While the cottage was very clean and tidy, there were a few problems. - There was no internet access - While there was a DVD player, there was no video remote control to operate it - The door of the freezer compartment was missing - The beds were rather too soft and sloped down at the sides

Very clean, pretty and cosy cottage in a lovely, quiet location. The garden is great for sitting out and for a dog. It is a bit smaller than it looks on the photos but it is just as lovely and is fine for 4 adults. The TV is not a SMART TV but some DVDs were provided, as well as books and the Articulate game.
