We liked the cottage very much. It was charming and well-equipped. The only two reasons I only gave it 4 stars was because we were told there would be travel sized bottles of toiletries and there was only hand wash, so we had to buy shower gel and shampoo, which I would have brought if I had known and it would have been better if there had been summer weight duvets, as it was really hot while we were there.

Very clean with lovely welcoming gifts. Comfortable bed, good storage, well equipped kitchen and excellent bathroom, although the heated towel rail didn’t turn on and there is no other heating in the bathroom, so it could be a little chilly.
