The views are gorgeous (though you do have to look through faux leaded windows to see it!). There was a problem with heating in one of the bedrooms and it would have been helpful to have extra blankets to keep warm until it was fixed (the next day). Outside lighting would also be helpful as couldn't see a thing on arrival. The cottage is tastefully decorated and well equipped. The "famous" mattress in the downstairs bedroom was just fine. Really quiet spot.

Mattress was way too soft and we both suffered from back pain during and after the stay. having said that, we had a brilliant time at the house. It was spacious, well equipped and perfect for a family holiday. We booked the holiday based on the fact that reviews said the bed mattress was going to be changed and this was clearly not the case.
