    “We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cottage.”

    It was spotlessly clean with really good facilities. Our only criticism is that cottage looks tired and needs updating. Upholstery as in sofas and chairs really need replacing or at the very least, cleaning. Saying all this, we would probably return.
