The cottage was comfortable and as described, although could benefit from some a bit of TLC in a few areas. There was plenty of hot water, with comfortable beds and clean bed linen and towels. It is in a peaceful location with lovely views and is well located for exploring the local area. The 2 miles of single track road to get to the cottage wasnt an isue for us but worth mentioning as information for other potential visitors.
