cottage stay

stocked kitchen prompt service warm weather
the cottage was lovely. the kitchen had pots, pans, and crockery. i contacted the owner about a fan and they provided one quickly. we appreciated the prompt service given it was warm weather.
the milk sachets provided were off. the beds felt a little lumpy. i also noticed the carpet was damp which i suspect was due to a radiator leak near the window.

Fantastic Stay in a Lovely Cottage

warm cottage well-equipped kitchen dream hot tub comfortable bed
The cottage was warm and well equipped. I found tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, milk, laundry powder, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, dish cloths, and cooking oil all available. The hot tub was an absolute dream. the fairy lights enhanced it!!! Location was key for me. The apartment was beautifully cared for and I appreciated the attention to detail and cleanliness. The bed was very comfortable and seating ideal.
The water temperature in the shower was difficult to adjust. This was a slight inconvenience.
