Answered my call and promptly resolved the fridge not working, with a replacement. Cottage exactly as described, lovely area easy to find. A couple of small changes that could make the cottage 10/10. Towels for the hot tub could be provided, a clothes horse or more hanging space for towels as nothing in the bathroom. The back door and front door would benefit from a mat to stop grass coming through. Overall a lovely stay, 100% would recommend.

It's a brilliant area for walking and there a many walks you can do from the front door. The cottage is well equipped and the hard floors and enclosed garden make it great for dogs. My only critique would be that the pillows and bed in the double room weren't terribly comfortable and I'd sacrifice floor space for a king size bed. I'd stay agqin though, just bring my pillows from home.

The lemon cake was much appreciated. The hot tub and outside dining made our holiday.
