The kitchen is extremely well equipped, the fridge/freezer of a good size and a complimentary welcome pack appreciated. The art on the walls around the cottage is great. The beds are comfortable and the linen clean and generous. However there were a few issues. Once again there was no heating in the downstairs bedroom and shower room. The main oven element appears to be defunct and the garden door lock was very temperamental not wanting to unlock. Notwithstanding a super stay in a lovely cottage, thanks.

Will definitely be booking again. Lots of lovely walks with amazing scenery. Only one thing that we would recommend is having somewhere to hang our coats especially after a dog walk in the rain.

Great living space with plenty of room to socialise and be cosy. Super clean and comfortable. A great launch pad for walking and short drives to lovely areas to explore.
