The standard of cleanliness was impeccable, the cottage was so warm and cosy and had everything we needed for our stay. The beds and sofas were super comfy. Didn't light the log fire as the cottage was so warm anyway even though it was October. The lady who owned it was really friendly and made us so welcome. Would love to return and would recommend in a heartbeat.
