Complimentary milk, cake and tea bags lovely touch. Complimentary milk, cake and tea bags lovely touch. Very good size rooms en-suite as well as bathroom and even a washing machine. Only criticism is that on the website it quotes that the host will contact you via email with entry code, this didnât happen and I had to message at 4 pm on the day of arrival and wait for a reply. Host meets you at the cottage which is a nice touch but would be better explained at time of booking to save any confusion . Overall excellent stay.
