This is a delightful cottage, lovely and warm and wonderful hot water. It is very comfortably furnished in a good location. I did think hard about awarding the full 5 stars as there are a few things 'missing'. We could have done with a bigger supply of cutlery and some crockery as there is a full size dishwasher and we found we were washing some items up before the dishwasher was full. However it was nice to find the kitchen had not become a dumping ground for the owners own unwanted items, an experience we have had on a number of occasions. A short length of hose in the garden would have been helpful for dog washing. After all the cottage allows 4 dogs.
