We stayed for 2 nights during stop over back up to Scotland from holiday is Cornwall. We were absolutely delighted with the cottage. It was bigger than we expected and was absolutely spotless!Fantastic kitchen supplies - everything you need.Lovely decor throughout and everything was so clean.Great powerful shower and a lovely touch supplying shampoo and conditioner too along with soap in kitchen bathroom too.This was like a home from home and would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area.We stayed here to enjoy a great day out at Beamish museum which was only 20 mins drive.Plenty of shops and facilities only a short drive (5mins).Thanks to Clare for being a great host.
