We love the location, the views, the surrounding walks and all the animals and birds that surround the cottage. The cottage has everything we could possibly need on our visit.. The only thing I'd alter is the closure of the main bedroom door, it swung open several times whilst I was getting dressed,the door wedge is useless, we bought our own door wedge this year but that didn't work either. May be an hook and eye or a heavy doorstop would be better?
