The shower door was ver small that only slim people could get in. The water could not be adjusted. The strip lights did not work also the cooker hud light did not work. The seating was uncomfortable and after this stay we my not be using you again.

There were just a couple of things on the downside; the lack of large mirrors, the mirrors in the cottage comprised of one in each of the bathrooms in which I could only see my head (I'm 5' 2" ), there was a shaving \make up mirror in the bedrooms but larger mirrors could easily be fixed to the large cupboard doors in both bedrooms. Also the shower doorways are very narrow, anyone of a larger build would find it difficult to get in or out. Apart from that I would recommend Little Dingle.

I think we would have liked to have met our host at least once during our stay.other properties we have stayed at have had a pack with things to do places to eat etc, just lastly the garden area needed a rethink maybe cut back the trees and bushes to make the most of the afternoon sunshine.
