You may as well admit the WiFi is virtually non existent. Took my own hairdryer as had read in previous review there wasn't one, only place we've been to that hasn't provided one. Only 2 of us so enough crockery and cutlery.

Plenty of cobwebs around. And no freestanding bath as listed in details!!! WI-FI is very very limited was not able to access any streaming services at all. You need to take dishwasher tablets as there isnât any. Could have done with hoover at property as I would have gladly used it. As for position of cottage itâs was good for traveling into Barney and surrounding areas, very quiet spot, which is what we like. But if asked if Iâd go back unfortunately not. Needs quite a bit of updating.
