I was abit disappointed, with the property. As being christmas, i booked for 7 people. I had no baking trays in the property and only one shelf in the oven, so was not the best for cooking for 7 people .so had to buy some trays and a slow cooker so we could cook our dinner. Also on arrival there was tea cup stain on the side table in living room and the rug looked like it needs a good wash. the door rattled all night as it was very windy outside. Witch we fixed why we was there. Also as a company I was disappointed as my mum & dad also stay locally threw the same company and my sister and they both received welcome hamper I was disappointed as I had payed alot more money them.

The cottage was well equipped- however the downside we all found the beds to be uncomfortable & very creaky perhaps in need of new mattresses. We did need to contact the owner regarding parking but he responed to this & it was quickly sorted out. Would recommend this property.
