Best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in, with the lovely owner on site if needed. Having a dishwasher is great - but only if there is enough of everything so you don't have to handwash between meals, or run the washer with only a few bits in it. This cottage provided several of everything, and useful extras like cling film and foil. Fresh and Read moreclean, bathrooms spotless, beds superclean and comfortable. Steep road but the lane is a dead end so very quiet - no traffic noise at all Hide
