Answered my call and promptly resolved the fridge not working, with a replacement. Cottage exactly as described, lovely area easy to find. A couple of small changes that could make the cottage 10/10. Towels for the hot tub could be provided, a clothes horse or more hanging space for towels as nothing in the bathroom. The back door and front door would benefit from a mat to stop grass coming through. Overall a lovely stay, 100% would recommend.
