A very well appointed cottage in good location. Was very noisy due to building work to back of property. Kitchen had everything needed for self catering holiday. Beds very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Towels nice and thick. Could have done with more loo roll! Nice that there were dog bowls and blanket. All in all good value for money.
