    “Having stayed in over 20 cottages around England, Scotland and Wales, we would definitely put Pool Cottage in the "one of the better ones" category as it was bright, warm, comfortable, nicely decorated and just had a good feel to it.”

    The only (very minor) downside was the curved driveway was a little tricky to navigate, but that might be more down to the driver's parking (in)ability!
