Appreciate the cleanliness but it was a very disappointing stay.
Pros:

Clean bed, cabin was clean. Provided extra pillows as requested so that was great. Also had a wardrobe which was very handy. The location of the cabin was in a quiet location.

Cons:

Not enough space around the bed to get in and out. No bedside table and lamp on one side making it hard to plug in our cpap machines. No usb ports. Furniture very dated and couch needs replacing. Bath towels were too small. We were only two guests but having just 2 of everything in the kitchen especially cutlery with a bit stingy. Pots were also to small for a self catering cabin.

We had a large group and stayed in two beautiful old cottages. It was clean and comfortable. My grandkids loved the play area

Cons:

The Laundry was a little confusing. They only give you change if you use a certain laundry as apparently there is two of them
