The cottage is comfortable and quiet and we had a very relaxing stay. You will find tea and coffee available and salt and pepper, just make sure you take milk so you can have a cuppa when you arrive. We ate out so didnât use cooking facilities but looks to have everything you need.
Fiona
Future guests should remember to take milk and essentials as there is no welcome pack. There are a few things that could be improved which would make the cottage perfect.
