The cottage was very nice and very clean but if I had to put it down in any way then it would have to be the bathroom only because it has a bath tub but the shower couldnât be connected to the wall above so having to sit in the bath and then have a wash because the bath was not long enough to lay down but in the short stay we had then it was ok, The double bed was ok and beding was fine, Also maybe a few more teaspoons , but on the whole it was a good cottage and in the centre of all the places I did visit also the front door pvc has dropped a little bit and needs adjusting but as I said it was a lovely cottage, Many thanks Colin Jenkins Who stayed august 25 th to 30th i other thing is that itâs a bit early to have to leave the cottage at 9am and should be around noon

However, it would benefit from a shower on the wall. But this is a minor thing. Itâs that good we have booked for next year already.
