Cottage was quaint. Easy accessible. Keycode pad in wrong place, bush underneath, dropped key into it.(bees buzzing round). Fridge/freezer in outhouse , pain having to go in and out from kitchen. Hot water only heated up through night. So wanting a bath after long walk at night time, water was cold. Bathroom, rather small, not very accessible to get in bath if you are a larger person. Bed wasnt very comfortable, very soft mattress no good if you have a bad back. Settee in room when you sat on it you sank down the back of it. Think springs had gone.
