High quality, comfortable, great location

This property fitted the bill for me and my two teenage daughters. Very clean, very comfortable, high quality decorated, fully equipped. The only downside was very limited Internet, which was a problem with two teenagers who spent time indoors and online. I did call the owners who tried to help, but being a mobile / 4g based broadband, the signal TO the cottage was the issue. Maybe moving router upstairs and using a AC power line WiFi adaptor might help. Also would be really good to have some larger (pint?) glasses, especially for these hot days. Finally, some bbq utensils would also be helpful - I thought there were some so didn't buy any, then had none for the bbq. Overall, highly recommended
