Good location and easy to find. Cottage has private garden and private tub. cottage was clean on arrival nice welcome pack for guests thanks. Stairs steep to second bedroom but as our two children where sleeping there this was not a problem. Main bedroom bed was good, but the mattress was a memory foam one which we don't like. Bathroom was fine only issue no light switch as its on a sensor and the extractor fan stopped working while we was there.Lounge was cosy we couldn't get the tv to work maybe the batteries was flat in the remote, this wasn't really an issue as we didn't arrival back to late and wanting to relax the hot tub after a long day walking .Hope to use again when down that way. Thanks.
