It was cosy, clean, we loved the fire and it was a nice touch to have the milk, bread and jam. The host was really helpful with recommendations for places to visit and eat in the local area. Thank you.

All good.

My wife and I very much enjoyed staying at the Millrace cottage for a couple of nights. It has everything that we need and it's very nice and cosy little place with a real wood fireplace. The large sofa with a big foot stool is very comfortable to use. Especially when watching the big screen TV. Good value for money and better than staying at a hotel. The host provided us with the all the information we need and easy to communicate through Booking.com.

Just some minor points: The light for the stairs could be a little brighter. No washing up liquid.
