Second bedroom bed was uncomfortable. Kitchen could be better stocked in crockery and glassware, and also in chopping boards etc for those that want to cook. But verbally a very pleasant stay.

A lovely weekend with friends in a cosy cottage in a beautiful area. Excellent location. The cottage is lovely with a nice private garden, surrounded by beautiful scenery and very easy to walk into the town. Lots of things to do in the area and plenty of places to eat and drink. Very pleasant walks from the door. We would definitely return. Only 2 small sofas in the lounge - not really enough for 4 people to relax comfortably. Also although it was great to have the dishwasher, the crockery and glases were too big and chunky to fit in easily. The main bathroom was lovely but unfortunately the bath plug didn't work - so unable to have a bath. None of these spoilt our stay I would add.
