In our case we were prepared to pay more for the cottage because we understood that it would have a log fire and believe this is a cynical deception on the part of the owners. - the TV aerial is broken so there was no live TV available.

The food and drink treats were also a nice surprise. The location is great and we were able to visit lots of places within easy drive. The only comment would be regarding the parking, we didn't know where we should park when arriving and overnight and feel this could be better highlighted when giving out the location and key pick up details.
Lesley
The bathroom was small but adequate and the shower room was small but adequate . The stairs however we took a risk on and found they were very steep and as the discription said not for the infirm with mobility issues . The views outside were stunning great for the camera enthusiasts and the local area had all that we needed thank you
