Sarah Cartwright
Our second stay at this lovely homely cottage with all you need, comfy beds, big fluffy towels and a cosy log burner for the evenings. We were abit cold the first night but Stewart adjusted the heating for us and we're were lovely and warm the rest of the week. He also got intouch the day we travelled to let us know which way was best to go due to roadworks! The place is walkable to all you need- cafes, the birks, shops, coop so you can spend a few days not having to get in the car! Just a few minor things I would say is that the place would benefit from a few blankets for the evenings, a few more loo rolls (we stayed a week and ran out) and we did have to wash the floor in the kitchen as I have a 1 year old crawling about and his clothes were getting dirty (this was day one so couldn't have been us). But we will definitely be staying again!
