The property owners were welcoming but the facilities of the cottage could be much improved for the stay. The mattresses were not comfortable (sagging) and there was a lack of basic kitchen items. For example, there was no carving knife, no chopping board, no basic cutlery items such as a peeler. The oven did not work. For the cost of the accommodation, the level of comfort could be improved. There was no outdoor lighting even though a barbecue was provided.
