The cottage was well equipped with lots of storage for your holiday essentials to be packed out of sight but just a few minor things missing in the kitchen, an oven glove and dishwashing brush/scrubber would have been useful. The plastic spatula was disintegrating and needs replacing.Overall great value for money.

The sisters who greeted us were lovely and very friendly. We found the toilets took a while to fill and a fan would have been a bonus in the heatwave we had. It was very private and quiet most of the time. There was a lot of crow scaring bangs during our stay which upset our dog, but not the owners fault. Also in the pictures for the 3 cottages there were privacy fencing between the decking areas, but were not there for our arrival. Our dog was fine as she is laid back with other dogs but not all dogs would be happy. Plus more hooks for hanging leads, coats etc by the front door would be a bonus. But over all it was a lovely stay and very accessible to lots of local sites
