The cottage sits above the village with its own private sloped garden - the view is fabulous. The cottage has a good size kitchen with good cookware, utensils etc. The lounge felt smaller but cozy, all in a slightly dated cottage style - but clean and well presented. The downstairs shower room and cloakroom has clearly been refurbished and was simple, clean and modern. Ithink the upstairs bathroom must be due for a refurb as it was very dated. The toilet was clearly fitted for a child’s height. The bedrooms are as expected, with the main bedroom feeling larger despite having a travel cot in. The swimming pool complex was excellent - unfortunately the hours of opening were not very helpful if you want to swim after putting children to bed, nor does it open early - i am sure that a range of different hours on different days might help to cater for different needs. The children’s playroom whilst unassuming was loved by our toddler and is open 24 hours a day - great for early risers. The laundry room - 2 washers and 2 dryers. Operated by tokens that give 1 hour of electricity meaning that machines stop mid cycle and on 2 occasions meant that machines were out of action when I visited. But staff assure me that they are looking into this as the system is new. The staff at reception were pleasant and helpful, I got the impression there was staff shortages but they still seemed to cope well.
We had a lovely stay, the weather could have been better - but the scenery as always was gorgeous.
