Very good

Well equipped, clean and comfortable cottage.
Heating could do with updating as storage heaters are well passed their prime.
Also there is no grab rail in the over bath shower, which is needed for us oldies and a heated towel rail would be good.
The garden is small but very sweet, our dog wasn't very impressed as there was no grass.
The double bed is comfortable which is always a bonus.
Kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need.
We had a smashing week visiting our son who lives just up the road.
