The cottage is finished to a high standard and the owners have thought of everything, little touches everywhere. It was great to have board games and cards, and little things such as salt & pepper, dishwashers tablets, cleaning products etc was so useful as these are the things you forget! The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The outdoor space is lovely too and it was great to sit under the pergola when the sun did make an appearance. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
