The cottage itself is beautiful and in a stunning although remote location. Huge kitchen and bedroom spaces, although a small, dark sitting room. Lovely neutral and calming colour scheme throughout the cottage with a sweet front lawn! We felt the the cottage as a whole was lacking the personal touches; we would have loved to have been left some of the famous owner brownies that were described in the welcome pack!!

The cottage was exceptionally good, regarding attention to detail decorativally and furniture and fittings. However the en suite bathroom was poor in cleanliness and we spent 45 minutes on our first day removing spiders from every room.
