The access road could be a lot better.In such very hot weather and ice cube tray would have been useful.Thank you for a lovely stay.

Linda
Excellent place to stay, very clean and comfortable. The garden was great for the dog as very well enclosed. Lovely local walks nearby. Could have done with a microwave instruction manual, maybe a shelf or 2 in the bathrooms to put bits and Bob's on. Otherwise we had a great holiday and would recommend this cottage.
