The views from the cottage was lovely and would be nice if it was summertime so you could sit outside and enjoy them. Perhaps next time we will go in the summer.

The same with the curtain poles - as we closed the curtains we were met with a dust cloud. The shower cubicle needed a thorough clean - not inside the cubicle - on the outside, bottom railing. Having said all of that we didn't let this spoil our holiday - the cottage itself was very cosy and well equipped. The owners were very pleasant when we spoke to them and when they asked the first morning if we were ok (by email) and I replied it was a little cold, they turned the heating up a bit and we felt much warmer. Lovely garden. Parking was an issue initially but once we had a parking space we left the car there for the week and travelled by bus, so we didn't lose our spot.
