The cottage is very nice and comes fully equipped. For a family of 6, the kitchen equipment was perfect (big pots and pans for cooking). It would be best to bring your own water to drink and use in the kettle (or cook?) as the tap water comes very rich in calcium. So much that we sometimes had to rewash dishes fresh from dishwasher (calcium build-up) and it was also very apparent in the kettle while the water was boiling. Not a minus, just an observation. The host, Vanessa, was very welcoming and helpful. The check-in and out process was seamless and the amenities on site are great. The proximity to sandbanks is a huge plus for us. Overall great experience. Would definitely recommend.
