"Excellent little cottage for a person/couple with a dog. Closed in huge yard with lovely grass. Probably not suitable for elderly people with a step at both the main door and the toilet which is not inside the cottage. The high dining table inside and bar stools were uncomfortable and difficult for a shorter person to sit on. Lots of extra items available to guests like fresh milk, tea, coffee, shampoo, conditioner etc. cottage is cosy - one big room. Cleanliness could be improved. Great price and nice location."
