The cottage is in a lovely position set back from the road with ample parking. Nicely decorated and comfortable. Ample towels provided. A lovely box of biscuits left for us on arrival. We did have a lovely holiday. A few issues- water was leaking through the roof in the kitchen when we had rain. This was not new as old water stains were visible on the ceiling. The cooking pots and pans are tired and we had some issues cooking without things sticking. There is a lot of building work going on site which was a little noisy.
