The parking was easy and convenient. The bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery, glasses and general kitchen pots, pans etc, which meant you had enough to keep you going for two or three days before putting the dishwasher on. Plenty of hot water. The WiFi worked well but I had poor mobile connection at the cottage had I wanted to make a call but that will be my service provider which is O2. All in all very relaxed and comfortable.
