ROLY
The cottage was in a good location and for myself there were some nice walks in the areaand lovely places to visit, it was very spacious with a sitting room, lounge, separate dinnind room and a lovely well equipped large kitchen. The only problem was with the gates on the drive, when we first arrived we were told that we could open them when we go out but asked to close them when we come back. The trouble was that the owner who lived next door to the cottage kept shutting the gates while we were out. As my wife is partially disabled it meant I had to get out the car to open then, drive through and get out again to close them. We came back once and were going back out shortly afterwards so as he was in the garden I told him I had left them open so I could drive straight back out and he promptly said "well I'll go and shut them". This was after I had twice given him his parcel that the delivery man had left at the closed gates.Very annoyed Roly.
