A lovely private cottage, great views and ideally placed to explore the Moors and coast
Weather was sadly a factor. May possibly have given slightly better ratings had it been nice? Needed a car to get around, more suited to walkers or cyclists. Cottage was generally well stocked, missing a 2nd frying pan and brush to sweep floors & some laundry/drying facilities for longer stays. Water was too hot, no way to adjust it, no mixer taps, so made situation worse
