Good location, but disappointed with the lack of basics in the cottage. Things such as a shelf in the bathroom to put your toiletries on, hooks on the back of doors to dry towels. No welcome pack as highlighted on cottage details. Parking is not available but 35 for the week a good walk away up a steep hill. Difficult access to drop off suitcases eRead moretc on arrival. May look like luxury but missing the details to make it functional. Hide
