Nice little cottage, well appointed, and an excellent high standard of welcome package. Could do with a little more attention to home maintenance as a number of light bulbs were not working, and the toilet seat and bathroom sink were loose on arrival. That said, the chairs and beds were very comfortable, and a generous supply of consumables (dishwasher pods, kitchen roll, toilet rolls, etc) were available. A great location from which to explore the local area.
