Loved the Hot tub and the views. Lots of walks from the cottage without having to drive as well as a really good base for exploring the local National Trust properties and gardens. We had a problem with the bathroom light which was fixed within the hour, after we called to report it. really impressed with the speed of the response. Only minor niggle, and true of many holiday lets, is the lack of mugs, (There were 5 of us) necessitating frequent washing up every time you fancy a cuppa which makes the dishwasher redundant. Still a great place to stay and we would certainly recommend it and we'll becoming back sometime.
