The cottage was fantastic! Refurbished to the highest standard and had everything you would need and more. It was exceptionally clean and the gardens and views were beautiful. The WiFi was very intermittent due to the rural location in fact we had virtually no wifi for 48 hours. So bear in mind when booking. Also the TV freesat did not work for 5 dRead moreays but the owner was easy to contact and did do all he could to get someone out to repair. This would not put me off from booking again as the property and the place were exceptionally beautiful. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review.
