    “The cottage was spacious and functional, but as other reviewers have said somewhat dated.”

    Housekeeper was very helpful and the cottage was clean and tidy. We agree with the previous reviewer that the WiFi barely works. It is provided by a portable Vodafone hotspot that was slow during the day and didn’t work at all in the evenings (presumably when the network was busy).
