Whilst the cottage was well equipped, for 4 people, the living area was rather cramped, it would be fine with young kids. Disappointed with the courtyard access having no internal entrance, meant we had to block the front entrance with chairs just to get some air and stop the dog escaping. Whilst the single beds were fine, the master bed was creaky and saggy, my husband resorted to sleeping on the sofa the first few nights. We seem to have mouskitoes every night, a plug in repellent would've been good, we could only find candles which we never purchased. I should point out the cleanliness wasn't great, dirty floors, bread crumbs in the kitchen, musty bedsheets in both rooms, and blonde hair in and on the bedlinen, not great. On the whole, a lovely property. The welcome pack was a lovely touch.
