Clean and comfy, great location in beautiful countryside. Only criticism would be lack of cleaning stuff (kitchen spray, bin liners) and matches for the wood burner.

Cottage is quite remote but not isolated. Very very quiet. Not the warmest, heating did not come on until 6 pm. From Autumn onwards cottage is likely to be occupied from 4 pm. If intending to use the log burners please remember to take your own firelighters and matches as ther are none in the cottage. Otherwise everything was fine.

We had a great time at the cottage. It was very well equipped with everything you would need. Although the cottage is within easy reach of every amenity you could want, it was secluded and quiet. Also the garden was total secure for our cocker spaniel (a real bonus for us). If you like piece and quiet this is the place for you. It ticked all our boxes, so much so we've already booked for next year.
