A nice little cottage. The kitchen has plenty of utensils and dishwasher, washing machine etc. We found the duvets on the beds downstairs very warm for summer.The cottage was not terribly clean and my daughter and I gave it a good clean including some windows.It’s situated along a quiet lane not far from Milton.It’s very quiet at night.We would definitely stay there again.
