Pleasant little cottage, despite being next to the main road, traffic wasnt any more of a distraction then what you would expect. Shower is small so if over 6ft, will struggle to fit under the show head, cubicle is also small so will struggle to move around.Heating was easy to understand and use, and worked really well.Kitchen is reasonablely stocked, though one of the sharpe knifes was broken, and the grater being plastic didn't work.Bed despite the mattress being hard, slept extremely well.Outside area is not fenced off so if your taking a dog with you, best to put them on a lead encase they wonder into the farm next door, or into the main road.No onsite WiFi so would have to rely on 4G network
