The cottage was amazing, so well stocked with everything in a self catering cottage we would need. A big thank you for milk, coffee, tea etc very generous!We did find though the shower needed upgraded, repaired or replaced. Know the water pressure is something that can’t be changed though of course.Also the cottage was quite difficult to heat. We used the central heating, instructions were brilliant, but we found the heat hard to maintain.All said & done we loved the cottage & are planning to come back next year.You can tell the place is loved! Decor was lovely & location perfect for all amenities.Thanks again,Billy & Yvonne.
