  • Barbara

    Everything is clean, the beds are very comfortable. The only slight problem was that low water pressure made the shower a bit weak. As regards maintenance my only negative comment would be that there were several battery operated clocks around the property - none of which had batteries in - but then who needs to know the time when on holiday? Overall a great cottage in a wonderful position.

    Derek was always available and helpful to answer any questions. The only problem is that the property is situated next to a commercial kitchen which was being let to an outside company. The company showed little regard for the adjacent occupants as they they were busy and noisy - van engines running, talking etc. On one occasion they finished at 0030 and on another day they started at 0600. This was obviously not conducive to a restful sleep. Apart from that difficulty the property is really good, very well situated and we were able to have an enjoyable week.

    Derek and family made us feel very welcome and had a log fire going when we arrived. We had everything that we needed and had a lovely holiday.
