Would thoroughly recommend staying at Uplands , lovely well maintained accommodation, very well equipped kitchen , everything required has been thought of. So nice to have the extras of tin foil, cling film etc, makes such a difference. Didn't use the washing machine or dishwasher but pods also left for them too. A nice welcome message left by the hosts along with some bubbly, milk & shortbread ( teabags etc were there too) . Good communication before & after from the host. The cottage is in a quiet location , on an elevated position, all you can hear are birds chirping. Although we are very familiar with the area we found the area map on the wall extremely useful for planning trips out. ( it looks nice too )
