Julie
the hot tub was a lovely bonus and so private. Amazing views. The treats left were very welcome. We put the dustbin out as requested but it was not emptied - maybe to do with being out of season, also no date for the recycling. Those are the only things but even that could not spoil our time. so peaceful - even if the weather was not great. Would recommend directions to the local garage as we found ourselves being sent down tractor lanes by the satnav, which was rather scary in the daylight and white knuckle gripping in the dark.

The hot tub was lovely itâs a plus for me the cottage was very clean and tidy, the welcome treats were amazing ,but the bed was really uncomfortable. If they would change the mattress and everything would go to a 10 out of 10 otherwise enjoyed my holiday it was beautiful.

It was spotless inside, which is credit to the unsung heroes working behind the scenes . A thoroughly enjoyable stay, and I would love to return some time soon as me and Ted..the Cocker spaniel had just the perfect break.
