The cottage was lovely and contained everything you would need. Wonderful comfy bed.Despite the snow and us staying in for a few days Jo was absolutely brilliant making sure we had everything, shopping for us for food and logs and even taking the dog for walks. She even cleared and salted the very long track and down to the cottage to make sure it was safe for us to be able to get out. We can’t thank her enough she was absolutely outstanding and oh so very friendly.
