The kitchen does not have enough saucepans to cook for 6, 1 medium and 1 small pan and a frying pan. There is not even a vegetable peeler. The refrigerator does not have a freezer box. The sofa in the lounge is extremely uncomfortable. It's generally under equipped, 1 bed side light per room, 1 pillow per person. No curtains on the door and window in the main bedroom, during the summer the light would be very bright. Generally it is very basic. We left a day early as it was so uncomfortable.

The owner was very proactive in providing additional aids to help mobility around the property. The cottage is in a lovely quiet village and has a beautiful, private outside seating area. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in the cottage and plan to book in the future.
