Helen and Peter keep the cottage beautifully and the kitchen has much of what is missing in so many holiday let's. We drive an EV so having a charger makes a holiday so much more stress free. One slight surprise was that the socket for the 'granny lead' had been moved to beside the type two 7kW outlet. Our charge port is at the front of the car so the maneuver to get under the car port and be able to plug in was slightly challenging but by the second night was ok. We used the 7kW after the long drive up and the 'granny lead each night as this gave us all the change we needed over night.

Gorgeous views from the garden. My only slightly negative feedback would be that the kitchen could be lit better, especially over the sink and cooker. Some directional spots would be perfect. Loved seeing the lambs and bunnies outside the window.

From walking in, we were amazed at the size of the cottage. It was so spacious & very clean! Fresh flowers, tea, coffee, sugar, milk & biscuits were a lovely touch, ready for our arrival. We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch in the King William pub just around the corner. Food & Service was fantastic! Tesco & Co-op is situated in the town centre which is only a 5 minute drive, so that was handy.
