The cottage is lovely though there are a couple of things that could be easily improved such as the bathroom tiles need a very good clean to remove the mould. The radiators are noisy and are only warm at the bottom. They clearly have trapped air in them. The hosts have a building behind the cottage and sometimes you can hear loud thudding music coming from it which is really annoying especially when you’re on holiday wanting some peace and quiet and it’s 9am in the morning! Both beds were not very comfy unfortunately. Location was fine though you do need a car to get anywhere.
