The cottage was spotlessly clean and comfortable and functional. The fridge was very small and thankfully only 3 of our party went as it wasn't large enough to accommodate food for 5 unless you wanted to shop daily. There was no large pot/casserole for making stew/risotto etc and i had to purchase one.I've never had to pay extra for towels before.
