Hot tub was great. Only down side was the lack of added extras. There were tea, coffee and sugar jars, with residue of existing tea and coffee. I assume this means they hadn't been topped up for our stay. Seems minor, but when going away for only 2 nights we didn't think to bring it with us as everywhere we have stayed previous has provided tea, coffee etc. We had a lovely stay, it just felt we paid for the building, nothing more, nothing less. We are used to a little welcome pack? A little milk in the fridge? Maybe some shower soap facilities? Unfortunately, we feel we got the bare minimum. Apart from that the cottage was nice and cosy.
