The cottage is spacious and comfortable. Marina and David are kind and friendly. I would suggest Marina to add a laundry and dryer facilities. It was missed as we travelled with three disabled adults and laundry is a necessity. I didn't realised that there was no laundry. On the first day we have problem with the heating. Marina response was amazingly good.I strongly recommend. They're friendly people.

Immaculately appointed, spacious bungalow, which had everything we needed and more for our short break. We would definitely use it again.
