We loved the self contained cottage which was roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was the best of our travels having a proper vanity with a big drawer for toilet bags etc. Would certainly recommend.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Poor quality. I wouldn't stay here again.
Cottage masks the true nature of this property. Its a small portacabin. Sure it's got sliding patio doors and a bathroom but it's still a portacabic. As a result its hard to control the temperature. It feels damp even in March and the bathroom, even after only one night and two showers smelled damp. Also the WiFi is poor to non- existant.
