Peaceful cottage in a rural location. All the basics you require. The electricity meter wasn't too much trouble. Just drive carefully down the single track pot holed track.

Great location for what we were doing. Communication with the owner wasnt great, I sent a couple of text asking questions and no replies at all. The cottage was not as clean as expected either.

please check the 1 pound coin operated meter on entry, and make sure it is fully charged as I believe this may have been mised leading to no electricity the next morning. We had a slight struggle to get mesages acros due to cottages and the owner not picking up initially, and then later trying to get adequate supply of pound coins.....need at least 10 if u r running additional heaters as cold. The shower is electric and alternately scalds or freezes. Other than that was good place.
