It was clean and had everything required as regards kitchen equipment, toiletries, a washing machine, clothes line and tumble dryer and OS maps and walking guides. Some milk, biscuits, coffee and tea were provided, which was kind. The location was excellent for walks from the doorstep and the local pubs friendly and serving good value food. My husband slept better than he does at home and there were lots of wardrobes, hangers and drawer space. The only possible suggestion might be a mirror opposite the drive as the cottage is on a bend and pulling out of the drive even forwards and with a spotter over the road felt slightly hazardous.

But other than that the cottage was very comfortable and thank you for the treats that was left for us on arrival.

It would have been nice to sit outside in the evening sun.
