We loved our stay at this cottage, it’s had nearly everything that we needed but for some reason there was no bottle opener. If you are travelling with a baby or toddler be advised you need to bring your own travel cot/ high chair etc but we anticipated this so this was no issue for us. The decor was beautiful, the cottage was lovely and warm and the en suite shower was spectacular. We had such a lovely time that we didn’t want to leave. The cottage itself is easy to find, very close to main transport links and local attractions and towns to visit.
