A comfortable and pleasant cottage in a good location. However, there were a number of little touches which were regrettably missed. The instruction sheet needs to be updated and extended. We went knowing there would not be wifi but it was irritating to find the phone signal was also poor. Some items need a little attention, eg mirror light in bathroom not working and replacing the dirty toilet brush. It was disaappointing to find that there was previous mention of what to do with rubbish and recycling but this still remained an issue. On the whole, however, we had a lovely time.
