EVERYTHING - the cottage is beautiful, practical, clean and homely. The views from the top floor are stunning. The kitchen is brilliant and has everything you need for a stay. The sitting room is so comfortable and relaxing and the beds were lovely and comfy. The correspondence from Mike and Keith was perfect and nothing was too much trouble, very informative of the local area and gave brilliant recommendations.
