It was a lovely cottage. No major complaints - if I’m being picky it would be that the carpets needed a good clean & hoover and some things were on the dusty side. The bathroom needed a clean mid week - as five of us sharing one bathroom was tricky. But did not affect my stay whatsoever and am just being super picky.

Very enjoyable week. The cottage was lovely with everything thought of. Including the dog. The children enjoyed the pool and the facilities. The staff were very helpful. Can highly recommend.
