Lovely holiday. Nice cottage, lovely hot tub and free use of swimming pool. Hot tub developed a leak but owners sorted it out quickly. Footpaths close by so great for walking.

Beds were great.Lovely to have the hot tub and use of pool.Loads to explore in the area.We did think that for a luxury cottage that the kitchen, although clean, was worn and tired.
