I am a bit wary of cottages with the owners living next-door, but in this case they are such interesting and lovely people that it was a bonus.. The cottage, its setting, location etc. are all excellent. Two minor positives I think are also worthy of mention - 1.) The fridge has a small freezer compartment. This was great in that it meant I did not have to go off in search of fresh fish / meat every couple of days. 2.) the DVD is actually a Blu-ray player. The first I have seen in a holiday cottage.
