Great holiday and hot tub, nice having the whole cottage to ourselves and that its dog friendly, only thibg that let it down was as per older reviews a smell in the property that got stronger over the course of our stay and we couldn't get rid of it, was a dreadful smell and was covered up by a lot of air fresheners when we arrived which quickly wore off, everything other than this aspect was lovely but the smell was a let down
