A lovely, comfortable, well equipped, cottage. A perfect location, with plenty to do. Lots of useful info and recommendations from Jo, the owner. Lovely walks with the dog...a co-op just seconds away in case you forgot something. We had a gorgeous Sunday roast at the Yachtsmans Arms...Maggie, my hungry springer, was welcomed too and even got her own lunch! I totally recommend a trip here...
I've been ripped off on the cleaning deposit that i had to put down . The reason the host gave me was that we left a few pots unwashed and the house untidy .
I think they are expecting guests to tidy the property for themselves .
