    “Undoubtedly a great location, lovely cottage in a super spot.”

    The high price is just about justified but there could be some improvements - specifically the kitchen equipment, which is a bit outdated. Old and unmatched glasses, peelers broken, the oven tray had been left to 'soak' in the sink. Small details but justifying a £500/night cost .... Maybe the TV could do with upgrading also. All in all a lovely stay, I'd echo the comments about the access road, but fortunately we had a 4x4. Have rebooked for next new year.
