Pleased to be allowed in early which made a difference to our stay. Well equipped kitchen, shame the bathroom smelt of stale water in pipes also cold tap to bath didn't work. Only suitable for a couple really as bedrooms inconvenient for having to go downstairs for bathroom as need to go into bed 1 for very steep and uneven stairs. We have stayed in numerous cottages over the years so was a little surprised that no small welcome pack was forthcoming for the price we paid.
