The cottage is very comfortable with good quality furnishings and fittings especially the beds. I reported that one of the blinds in the top bedroom was broken off so I hope that was fixed. I didnât need it doing during our short stay. The little welcome pack was appreciated.

Harebell was excellent. So lovely to have things like a hand towel in each bathroom, additional to the towels supplied, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, soap etc. There were a few small maintenance issues which we try to fix or reported, one I forgot was the toilet seat in the ensuite is going wonky and needs a proper fit before it breaks. Seen the next question, happy for you to publish the first paragraph.

Whilst we enjoyed good weather, we would have loved the house even if it had been poor weather. The goodie bag on arrival was great - an unexpected treat. Highly recommend - and is added to our 'favourites' list.
