Very nice cottage which is well laid out and has everything you need for your stay.
Very nice cottage which is well laid out and has everything you need for your stay. No issues getting in or checking out and emails were very clear. Cottage is not far off the motorway which was good for our trip, but plan ahead re supplies as shops nearby are limited! Would stay again in the future - thanks.
