We had a lovely stay. The cottage was amazingly well equipped and clean. When we arrived there was a pint of milk in the fridge and half a dozen eggs waiting for us which was lovely. Thr cottage does have wifi which we had wanted as we have teens and one of them had a live webinar booked for uni while we were away but the wifi was too slow so he had to miss it. Really lovely cotrage and would stay again.
