Kay
It was warm & comfortable & was equipped with just about everything that I needed. There are just a couple of suggestions that I'd like to make that I think would improve future guests experience. Firstly, a non-slip shower/bath mat, especially for the shower. I found it quite dangerous to use without one. Also I found one of the bedroom doors & especially the front door stuck quite badly & were difficult to shut ( I appreciate that it's winter & damp weather however.) Other than that I think the cottage is very nice & the sofas & beds are very comfortable.
