Be aware that the ceiling in the second floor is not very high. Was fine for us, but if you're 180m plus I assume it's getting uncomfortable.

There are shops etc a 20 minute drive away. The owner thought of everything in terms of us getting settled in (he left a booklet detailing the cottage, appliances and the surrounding area etc). The fire was great and I could have spent the whole holiday sat in front of it. We did have a couple of issues, firstly the windows were extremely dirty when we arrived (didn't do the view any good), the gardeners came and worked whilst we were trying to relax in the cottage and we would have prefferred this to have been arranged on a day when nobody is there etc. Finally, you have to drive through a large yard with diggers and a shed etc to get to the cottage, and as we were seetting off back home we picked up a nail from here which punctured our tyre. Had to make an hour detour to Kyle to get it repaired.
