The property was spacious and well equipped, apart from the bedrooms which were too small for 4 people (luckily there were only two of us so we managed). The beds were hard and uncomfortable, but the showers were good. There is still an issue with the gates! We were told on our second day that someone would come and fix them, but nobody did. We had to leave them unlocked for the duration of our stay. Nevertheless, we had a great holiday and if the bed and gate problems were resolved we would definitely return.

Location is fantastic for everything ally way to get to the cottage is a little tight if you have a large car. If coming in to the cottage from the left go around roundabout and come in from the right, much easier. Only issue we had was not with the cottage that was absolutely lovely but the gate quite a struggle to get in on the first day we arrived, 6ft gate and fence. We unpacked and went to go out for the evening for a wonder but unfortunately the gate would not open, completely jammed handle on inside seemed disconnected to the locking mechanism and we were locked in from the inside, Contacted office and said someone would be out that night so stuck in that night. No one turned up all weekend lucky husband was with us and was able to climb over fence and open from the outside. If I was on own no way I could have even got the gate open on arriving. Although issues with the gates we would stay here again, hopefully that will be fixed next time

Useful having a local office to deal with any problems, reported storm damage to the gate, maintenance visit within 24hrs, Difficult to understand some of the negative comments we read, before booking, certainly not experienced by us, clean comfortable, spacious, well equipped, cottage in an excellent location. Although itâs unlikely we will be back in this area should that change we wouldnât hesitate to book this cottage.
