A lovely holiday cottage and fabulous location. Good range of equipment and nicely furnished.The only things letting it down were the cleanliness, I had to clean on arrival and yet were cobwebs etc showing that it hadn’t had a thorough clean for a long time. The dishwasher was also very temperamental! Other than that, a great week away in a lovely location.

We loved it and would (will) stay again. Could have used a fan in the two attic bedrooms as they were unbearable. The table under the TV hadn’t been dusted in a very long time. A previous guest had written dust in the dust, we added the date. Otherwise fab house in a perfect location. I’ll be in touch to book again.
