I loved the Larkfield, everything there needed location suited us, the only grievance for me was th the double bed, it was solid, and I mean solid,I like a firm mattress but this was just to much, there was even 2 mattress toppers and a protector and it was still hard,I don't think another topper would make a difference, that was the only fault,I know everyone is different but surely there must have been other comments on the , the cottage itself is perfect .

One of the biggest problems was communication with cottages.com.There was no cot weather this was arranged or not communication wasn't good..Although there was everything you needed at the cottage for a toddler the cot was behind a locked door and it took 3 days and numerous amounts of phone calls and a great amount of time because of hanging on all the time to get the door unlocked. Very disappointed with communication..
