Warm and cozy for winter visit. Comfortable and clean. We had a great short break. Loads of interesting things to do in the area. Only small gripe is to much clutter in kitchen cupboards and no empty cupboard space for food stuff we had brought with us.

Cute, cosy little cottage in a great location. Very reasonably priced. Only comment would be to upgrade the sheets and towels which were a bit tired. Overall a great stay.

The local area is lovely, but Sundowners is dated and in need of TLC. The property had loads of cleaning products stored within it, but was still grubby. Disussed smoke detectors (no batteries)were left on the walls.
