Hi I absolutely loved my stay at Burdetts cottage. It was clean, comfortable & full of character. My dog also settled in immediately. The owners were helpful but didnt invade my privacy. The surroundings were beautiful & peaceful & I would definitely love to stay there again. I will mention just for the future to enhance the already great cottage amenities that a bulb was dead in one of the bedside lamps which I reported to the owners on the first afternoon and it would have been better if they had responded & had it replaced as its better for reading in bed. Salt and pepper in the kitchen & a cheese grater plus some towels in the bathroom would have made it perfect. The approach track to the cottage is very treacherous for cars on the last 100 metres I was very worried for the underside of my car each time I used the track. Its not suitable for cars only 4 wheel drives & farm vehicles. It needs levelling off just as the 1st 250 metres has been. Thank you very much
