Don’t think this cottage should be rated 4 star. Could be with better fixtures and fittings. Garden needed tidying up. No one had been in property for sometime judging by amount of post behind door. Certainly not before we arrived last Friday.

We booked this cottage at very last minute. I would certainly stay there again. Very clean and extremally comfortable beds. The only niggle is - no dishwasher!
