"Pretty sure I received email after the cancellation window ended to say that if we wanted to swim in the pool it would cost 10 pounds per person for an hour and needed to be prebooked. This is appalling!! Nothing about this was mentioned when I booked. Gym was included! The upside was that we paid Au$380 for Friday and Saturday night. Upon arrival we were told breakfast was included... Breakfast was fab.. large range of juices, good hot food, fresh fruit salad..."

The cottage has everything you need but could do with a thorough clean and a bit of a face lift and it would be perfect.It is not a property I would recommend for people with mobility problems as there are a few steps around the cottage and the stairs aren’t great.
