This property was in a fabulous setting, the downside of this was WiFi that kept cutting out. The cottage was spacious and well stocked, this was to the degree that there were no spare cupboards in the kitchen for food storage. The tv had basic channels and the remote was hit and miss as to whether it wanted to work. The timer for the heating was set wrong but after the clocks change to Autumn/Winter, this will be correct but this past week we have been cold first thing in the morning. The beds are ok but I found the pillows too flat and lifeless for me personally and the blind in the main bedroom was hard to put up and down, I was worried it would break every time I used the mechanism. On the whole the cottage was clean but there were an awful lot of cobwebs that were well within reach to be dusted away.
