The cottage was very modern, comfortable and clean. We had a few issues when trying to heat the living room (underfloor heating) Due to chronic lung issues, we could not risk using the log burner. An anti slip mat was required in the upstairs ensuite shower.

Had all the amenities and plenty of room for a party of six. Hosts were very easy to communicate with. Will definitely recommend this to anyone and will come back again.
