We had a good experience staying at Ivy Cottage. Martin was super friendly and responded very quickly with an issue we had with the tv. The cottage is well equipped with virtually everything you need. All furnishings are to a good standard probably the best we have stayed at unfortunately the weather wasn't as good but that didn't put us off from enjoying ourselves.
