The welcome pack was a nice,a lovely little extra touch and the added games and items in the drawers for the kids was also a great little perk. We did login to the cottages WiFi which worked and gave good internet service, however if you didnât logon I think you would struggle to get internet as without this I was struggling. The pub over the road The three Jolly Sailors, food was lovely and our dog was welcomed too, so a visit here was fully enjoyed and I definitely recommend. I think maybe check out could be extended to 11.00 am as 10.00 am seemed a struggle with the kids in tow, but that doesnât take away what a great place it was. Thanks for your hospitality, a great break first of many.
