  • "Lovely quiet, comfortable, spacious cottage in a pretty situation."

    The comfy beds and high quality bed linen were much appreciated. Well equipped. Another large pan with lid would have helped with cooking, I had to juggle things in the microwave. Please put together a booklet with information on the cottage, heating, recycling, local amenities etc- there wasn't one. The lack of a recycling bin was peculiar.

    Many thanks for your comments - it's always good to get feedback. Warm regards, Karen Property Owner
