Enclosed paddock wasn’t enclosed - dog got out. List of amenities in cottage was limited so didn’t take food that could be cooked - then later found a toaster and air fryer which was disappointing - these should have been listed on the website advert. Welcome basket was appreciated but no milk - had to drive to nearest garage for this - when travelling a distant in heavy traffic a cup of tea is all that’s required! Sofa in the room was very hard and felt like you were sitting in the frame. Disappointing stay considering the cost.
