We had a fabulous stay. Everything was very clean and it was a great location. The only drawback was some road noise but other than that I totally recommend this cottage.

Great communication. Overall the inside was clean (floors needed mopping). Bed was comfortable and inside decor was very tasteful. The overall outside appearance needs some TLC (not as nice as pics online). Location and size of property was perfect and would stay again.
