Summary: We were amazed by the quality of this let. The owners had thought of everything to make our stay trouble free, even to the extent of plugs and usb sockets each side of every bed. There was plenty of room for all of us and the kitchen was well equipped.There was an ice-cream stand for us to have our own ice-cream parlour. The patio at the back had a table and chairs with a lovely view over the large back garden with a tennis court and child' s wooden play house. The owners were easy to contact pre-stay to arrange some details. We rented 2 cottages- each had an ensuite bathroom with a bath in the kid's rooms and showers in the others, and there were large tables inside one to seat everyone from both cottages.There are plenty of toiletries and very comfy seating. Cannot praise this enough
