Cosy cottage with every amenity. It was easy to park opposite. We didn’t use the garden as there was a heatwave. When at the cottage, we tended to stay indoors and keep the curtains closed. The owner was very helpful when we asked her for advice. Two very minor criticisms - I did find the bed a little too firm for me, but ok for my husband. A also I would have liked the shower head to have been detachable, as I forgot my shower cap.
