    Had an amazing week loved the cottage and incredible views and walks. Kitchen could do with updating had everything we needed just odd layout. Found dishwasher hard to use as unable to see program dial. Beds really comfortable, bathrooms excellent and enjoyed the hot tub. Would love to go back!

  • Rachel

    Excellent. House is very spacious, is really well stocked, views were wonderful and the hot tub is such a nice treat in the evenings. We had our 5yr old so the games room worked particularly well - she loved it. Only suggestion would be to maybe have a fan or two around, particularly in the top bedroom which got a bit warm at night, but nothing otherwise.

    Superb views of France from the hot tub!
