What you see in the photos is not what you get, they need updating. There is no sky tv or free view, it is freesat which is good but very different especially if you have children. The bed was clean and comfortable which is a plus, but the kitchen and bathroom left a bit to be desired. This is a shame as it’s a lovely little cottage and well equipped, but the cleanliness let it down. Would also have been good to have had a visitors book to leave comments, there was also no info on bins day or recycling. Just little things but put together it could all have been better.
