We arrived at the cottage and found the keys located on the garage, as we walked in we all went wow, the cottage is bigger than the picture show, we were shocked to fine a lounge aswell as we thought the settee in kitchen area was kitchen/lounge. Due to warm weather the ice in the freezer was great and also supplied fans, which was a lovely. Even supplied a dog bowl and blanket, it was the little touches which made it. We arrived to cake and milk and water in the fridge, great touch my son loved the cake on arrival. There is plenty of shops to go for your food shopping when you arrive not to far away. We did a few trips out and around but we also stayed at the cottage for some days to relax, we did a BBQ and they was enough equipment to cater for it. The hot tub was lovely and they checked it everyday for you and left a note to say when you could use again. Only problem was the hob top, we couldnt work it to start with but this was easy fixed as the instruction manuals are they for you to look thought which was a great help.Lovely and peaceful cottage and great if you want a relaxing time with family and days out with the dog.
