The kitchen was very well equipped including a fridge freezer and washing machine. Linda the owner left a generous welcome pack which was appreciated. There are 2 toilets for the property, one within the bathroom inside the cottage and the other is an outside toilet near the back door. Handy having 2 toilets but I found the outside one rather cold so only went in there once. Good shower over the bath. Linda is try

Perfectly positioned for exploring. We even had decent weather. There was a lovely addition of local goodies and a bag of treats for our dog. The only downside is we now have to buy a coffee machine like the one provided as one of us is no longer satisfied with instant.

What it lacks in size it makes up in comfort. It has the most comfortable bed we have ever had in a rented cottage. Very nice to have a smart tv and gas fire in the lounge. Extra loo downstairs is handy. Helpful and friendly owner.
