Lovely, Well-Equipped Cottage

Lovely cottage, well-equipped with plenty of room for a family get together. Outside space was beautifully kept and the play area was an added bonus. Caroline was a pleasure to deal with and the communication was clear, concise and friendly. The only negative for us was that, although the facilities in the wet room were ideal for someone with mobility issues, the bed proved to be a bit low to get in and out of. Highly recommend and would love to stay again.
