The children love it there and have asked to go back . The cottage is close to the beach and a forest and the cottage gives us plenty of space since it has so many rooms .

Last time we were very critical of the cleanliness and state as it was very poor. Because of its location and size we decided to try again. Either the cleaners have changed or told to clean properly because this time it felt immediately much cleaner and tidier. Gone is the piano and general stuff so it all felt much better and cleaner. There is now plenty of cleaning equipment and a full set of towels each. The welcome pack is very good. It is an old house so some things will not change but the beds are very comfortable and the heating and water great . Going forward the lampshades for the side lamps need replacing they are falling apart and a bit dangerous and the sofa bed as I pointed out last time is very very uncomfortable. The dining room chairs are absolutely uncomfortable, its like sitting on a plank of wood. The oven is still dirty but the kitchen equipment and pantry have been sorted and are tidy and clean. We had a great week and have booked a third holiday and hoping for the owner to address some of these issues. Perhaps the cleaners should check the mattress covers as ours had blood stains obviously not changed from previous occupants and that's the cleaners responsibility. None of the issues would deter us from returning again.

It was perfect for our extended family. It was useful to have the 4 point extension leads as there were very few power points. We really enjoyed our stay here and hope to come again.
