Excellent thank you.

The two single beds in third bedroom were a bit uncomfortable my two teenage grandchildren said. The cottage was very clean apart from a number of cobwebs in the main double bedroom. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Comfortable and all equipment needed. Only problem was the lack of upstairs toilet as two bedrooms had to use the downstairs toilet at night and as occupants were quite elderly this was not really convenient. Would recommend but only for younger persons.Could not the Bath be taken out to accommodate another toilet.
