Summary: On arrival the key was available in the lockbox (passcode supplied by Craig before we travelled). The cottage was clean and tidy. Kitchen facilities were excellent. Bedroom was comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was excellent, with shower and spa bath. Cottage is located in an excellent area, which was central to everything we wanted to visit. There were bus stops located outside of the property. However, we drove and didn’t use the bus service. All in all a beautiful property, ideally situated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
