Great venue for our New Year getaway
A beautiful little cottage with loads of attention to finishing touches, well equipped kitchen and space for the 6 of us to chill out in front of a good film. Only criticisms would be that although the house was generally spotless, the rug in the sitting room could do with a good clean and the one loo in the bathroom upstairs was a bit of an issue, would be great if there could be a separate loo downstairs.
