The cottage was well presented and had everything we needed for our stay. However the bed was very hard and most nights I couldnât sleep. The fridge was very small and the freezer was just a compartment within the fridge, we struggled with space within the kitchen area. Overall the cottage was very clean but there was massive cobwebs in the kitchen and bathroom that I had to clean at the beginning of the holiday as there was dead spiders in them. We felt the hot tub needed replacing as only half the jets worked and was very worn in places. But overall we had a fantastic Christmas break and they had made the cottage look very cosy for us with all the Christmas decorations. The host Dorothy and Simon were lovely and helpful.
