A warm comfortable cottage with friendly and helpful owners. Well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. Floor boards upstairs a bit creaky when moving around in bedroom but not a major problem. Great wet room downstairs with shower chair and grab rails and large bath with a plentiful supply of very hot water. All in all a great week away despite the weather. Would recommend this cottage to others.
