The cottage was lovely and well equipped, holiday spoilt a little as the cottage had not been cleaned before our arrival at 3pm and we had to wait 2 more hours, the boiler had a fault one day and we woke up to no heat or hot water but my husband managed to get it started again.Overall would recommend as long as you can manage the steep stairs and a downstairs bathroom.
