Gill
Parking was perfect and flooring great for our dogs. I read previous reviews so was aware of the need to bring our own dishcloths etc. Observationally - the mattress in the 2nd bedroom is quite worn. The bathroom door needs adjusting to facilitate smoother open/close operation. The bathroom and shower are small - this was no problem for us but larger people might find it challenging. We were very happy with our choice of Swallow Cottage, it suited our needs well

The beds and sofas are very comfy and we were provided with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as the added bonus of Netflix on the TV. Only thing we would say is no freezer in the fridge although we managed okay without it. Would 100% recommend the cottage to anyone wanting a peaceful holiday away with lovely scenery!
