Everything you need is provided . The bathroom is an engineering marvel on how you can fit it all in such a small space. The most amazing shop across the road with everything you could possibly need. Highly recommended.

Lovely lakes within walking distance makes it an ideal base if you don't want to go out in the car everyday. Everything in the cottage is well thought out and cosy and everything you need to make it a home from home holiday. Do not be put off by previous reviews of the bathroom as long as you don't have mobility problems it's absolutely fine.

The cottage is in a great location, really easy to get to. Thereâs 2 fantastic pubs within a few minutes walk and a butchers opposite selling a good selection of bits, including fresh cooked pies & pastries. The parking was great, just a bit tight getting in and out but lots of room on the gravel driveway. The outdoor spaces are great. Inside is welcoming, comfortable and clean. Small bathroom and kitchen, but thatâs obvious from the pictures/description and wasnât an issue. We really enjoyed our stay and have booked to come back in a few weeks time.
