I was very disappointed with Oak. Only 2 teaspoons!!!Nowhere to sit outside although there was room at the front for 2 chairs and a small table.Nowhere to hang washing although there was a grass area at the back. The pillows are as flat as pancakes.The bin store was filthy and my husband disturbed the rats.The bath should have an anti-slip mat. I was worried about slipping when the bath was wet.It was lovely to have a dishwasher but not enough dishes or cutlery so using it was not good for the environment. I use eco products at home.

Cottage was ideal for coastal walks & visiting area round Falmouth. Clean & compact. Perhaps a welcome pack with milk maybe an idea.
