    “So this is our 3rd stay at this cottage we love the location so much!”

    There was a big improvement this time round when you walked through the door there was no smell of mould and the place was much cleaner than previous stays so that was a big bonus!! Another enjoyable stay and we will be back the living room is a little tired and furniture dated but the couch is very comfy and huge it accommodated everyone! I do like the place and will be booking again soon!!
