This was a very stylish cottage with beautiful gardens and many outside eating areas. The furnishings were smart with plenty of seats. The kitchen was huge but some basic utensils could do with an update. Lovely to have a welcome basket. You need a car.

Ideal cottage for extended family, with plenty of space and glass walls giving chance to see where younger children were without having to get up to look for them! Comfortable furniture and beds.

Level of cleanliness very disappointing. Lots of other little niggles, things not working etc. Such a shame as cottage is nicely decorated and in a lovely location but would not recommend to others due to multiple issues.

As mentioned above the house was beautiful, the only small grumble was the NEFF induction hob, we could only get one side to work, the other side kept putting up e9 error codes. When I read the manual it said system malfunction isolate at the mains, I did this but then if you tried to use it the same error code came up. It made cooking the spaghettRead morei Bolognese a little more tricky Hide
