Paul G.

Very nice cottage in a perfect location.
It is so central in the lovely Town of Hawkeshead. Really nicely refurbished. We did have a slight problem with the shower head which had become loose and a fine spray of water was coming over the top of the door, my husband managed to tighten it up and all was well. The hot tap on the basin turns opposite to the cold tap and I think people had been trying to turn it the wrong way and it was slightly loose. The only other thing we noticed was that the dinner plates were too large for the dishwasher and the arm that normally swings around when working was catching on the plates. These are merely observations. Absolutely loved our stay.
