    5 / 5 Excellent
    Cottage was just as described, unfortunately we had a major power-cut during our stay, Eileen and her husband were very helpfull during this period and provided candles and support with heating bottles for the baby and cooking some breakfast the next morning. This did spoil our short break in as much as it was a little cold the first night as no heating available, no power for any of the baby's sterilisers or wifi, played cards by candelight, however this was out of the control of owners, but the next morning they did fire up the augur to help with some warmth. Yes we would come again and they were a very friendly couple and hosts.…
