A very nice cottage, one of the best we've stayed in. Only (slight) negative points were:
- the front door opened onto only a very small foot-of-the-stairs, then the living room - with the boot and clothes-hanging room still some way beyond; so outdoor clothing tended to pile up in the living room; OK in good weather (with which we were blessed all week), but would need management if wet.
- the kitchen while large and very well equipped, rather lacked food-preparation space. Almost all the counter tops were occupied with appliances etc. But we managed and had some fine meals!
- no on-site parking was a mild nuisance but not really a big deal.
On the plus side:
- a big "Wow, this is NICE!" from everyone as we walked in.
- very convenient location - especially for boot buying (George Fisher being across the road) and shopping generally. Also we could drop people at climbing spots etc., knowing they could easily get back by bus.
- great dining room - seated everyone comfortably and with room to move around and dish up food.
- new big modern oven (gas hobs - hooray!) and massive supply of pots (really big ones if needed), pans, crockery, etc. Multiple toasters, kettles and coffee pots to feed the hordes quickly.
- a well-stocked and varied library (not just airport novels...) and games/jigsaws cupboard.
- comfortable, good-sized bedrooms.
We'd be very happy to stay there again.
