Had a lovely gift waiting for us on arrival which complemented the lovely warm hot tub that was ready to be used and waiting for us on arrival. Cottage was also already heated for us on arrival which was appreciated as we got there early evening. The host was very welcoming and couldnt do enough for you. The Cottage had everything you needed so you don't need to take a thing with you. You are left with lots of info to help your stay from places to go/eat close by, it's even stated in miles incase you want a walk, along with lovely places to walk and visit during your stay. We couldn't of been happier.

The only reason weâve given 4 stars and not 5 is that, for us, we would have preferred a slightly more comfortable sofa (it seemed to be more âoccasional seatingâ and we found sitting for an evening was not the most relaxing). The other thing was the slightly limited clothes hanging space and somewhere to put bulky outdoor coats etc. where they didnât keep falling off the hooks! We are NOT nitpicking but hope you appreciate us drawing these things to your attention. All of the other facilities were of excellent quality, and everything you could possibly want was provided - even down to an air fryer. We so enjoyed our brief stay. Hot tub was lovely. Thank you.
