Surprisingly spacious for the two of us, lots of thoughtful touches such as a pint of milk in the fridge, a roll of cling film, a phone charger, and printed instructions for the kitchen equipment. Broadband and entertainment system were great. Very pleasing decor. Karen rang us before the stay to explain a few things and encouraged us to contact her during our stay if we needed anything. We stayed during the heatwave but found the cottage comfortable and cool. Would highly recommend.

Most of the facilities were of the standard we expected. However, some of the items in the kitchen were sub-standard but I gather the owner has already rectified this.Overall we had a good holiday despite the wet weather most days.
