Beautiful cottage, location, views and surroundings, couple of niggles, the shower flooded and I had to remove the filter and clean everybody's hair out that had stayed there months before on our first usage, I vacuumed the rug in the living room and the amount of white dog hair was ridiculous, the sofa bed sank in the middle when sat on it, uncomfortable, I had to clean the fire out before we lit it as the bottom tray was full and not getting enough air, the fact we have to light it to get hot water isn't a problem, but the cottage gets very hot, lack of kindling, logs and firelighters was a problem the end of the week as you get through a lot...
