The cottage was in an excellent, quiet location - just what we wanted, with plenty of wildlife to see. Our equipment, however, left much to be desired. one of three electric fires was not working, neither was the electric iron. there was no washer or drier installed, which created difficulties when you are there for 2 weeks, particularly as only 4 pegs were supplied! there also seemed to be various draughts coming into the cottage. The estate staff we came across were very friendly.The cost of the electricity, I felt was excessive, and as this was paid for separately, gives a false impression of the cost of hiring the cottage, when booked, as you have no idea that the electricity is so costly. I suggest that it would be more up front if the power cost was not additional, and the hire charges reflected this. Despite these problems we were very happy to have our holiday there.
