Lack of manuals for electric equipment very frustrating and time consuming. Would recommend taking own towels , those provided were poor quality. Hot tub a very early model and the wooden steps to gain access are rotting, to the extent they are now a safety hazard .

The hot tub is a must!! What better way to unwind than with a glass of wine whilst chilling in the tub, shower is awesome too. Whole cottage spotlessly clean. Definitely be back next year.
