Five single beds was a bonus. The upstairs bathroom would benefit from a bracket on the wall for the shower head.

Cottage was ideal. Clean and comfortable. Cooked for ourselves several times. Local eateries were also good. We had several days out walking and exploring. Caught up with a few Marvel DVDs in the evenings. Appledore and the estuary was a delight.

Shame that the washing machine was changed to a dishwasher (which we didn't use !) but we were warned in advance!
