Very well equipped comfortable cottage in a lovely location, very clean and cosy. However there were a few things that needed some tlc, example loose toilet seats , blocked sink, shower was faulty. There was a big issue with the WIFI , one day would work then an hour later stop weren’t able to use Netflix or apps which was a shame, seems there has been a longstanding issue regarding this. The owner did try to resolve issue with BT attending but not really our problem to solve on holiday! So caused some stress and disappointment, Apart from this we did have a lovely time
