We enjoyed our stay. Cottage was well equipped with everything you need for cooking. Comfortable beds. Convenient for town centre and park.Would benefit from extra chair in lounge, and comfy chair in dining room to watch 2nd TV. But otherwise was fineWould just like to add how pleased we were when we received my husband’s gloves in the post that he had left at the cottage. Thanks so much to the owners of the cottage!
