This is probably the best cottage that we have used in 15 years . The travel instructions were good and accurate.There was everything that we needed in the cottage, and everything was clean, ready for use and some cake, milk, and butter and local honey were there for us.I cannot fault this cottage, which is large and spacious, and I thank the owners for their attention to detail , I hope to return in the future.My wife's comment sums it up " I could live here".
