Heated pool and hot tub were perfect way to spend time together. Robin (host) was friendly and the welcome brownies were so tasty. Welcome pack and info was really useful. Hardly saw those we were sharing pool with so felt like we had our own private pool. The kitchen was well equipped and clean. Bathroom and bedrooms equally clean. It is an older property so certain areas and outdoors could do with updating but this did not take away from our stay being really good.

The only thing I could suggest could have been better would be a cover on the downstairs quilt apart from that the cottage was perfect.
