Lovely cottage with a lovely view. Lots window in lounge which means lots light. There are stairs (not many) to the bedrooms - two upstairs bedrooms and two downstairs. There is only one bedroom which has ensuite. It would have been useful to have some sort of shelving in the bathrooms. Also no baskets in the showers for shampoo, soap etc. LocationRead more - quiet . Other cottages in complex but we saw little sign of life. Very quiet. Cows and sheep on doorstep. Hide
