Otters is a well situated self contained property that had everything we needed for our short stay. There were caddies full of tea coffee and sugar along with cake & biscuits which was a nice touch. If we had been staying longer we would have required assistance with the TV. Wi-fi was very poor and the password noted in the paperwork binder kept returning as incorrect so we gave up. Overall well equipped and well furnished but bathroom is very tired and could do with a re-fresh, that said everything worked perfectly. There was a slight odour of age from the carpeting. My only real complaint was I found a pair of soiled ladies underwear in a drawer in the top floor bedroom. I took a photo and disposed of the item before we left.
