Lovely house, comfy beds, big shared garden-not good for dogs to run loose-mine was on 8m leash. ,surrounded by bushes ,so mine dog would be able to escape. 2 fridge/freezers both working, American has a fault, but still freezing and cooling. Nice area, just far to bigger shops- about 1 hr of driving. Friendly Host.

This was our 3rd visit to this cottage. We had a really nice time, could not fault the cleanliness, most of the amenities were really good. The shower, however, was a disappointment, luke warm and not how I remember it at all. The big American fridge freezer didn’t seem to be working. There was another fridge freezer, but a note explaining would have been helpful. I’m glad the rotten decking has gone, much improved. Overall we had a lovely time, our main issue was the shower.
