    "What a perfect cottage."

    . everything you need to have a home from home ...1 thing missing...A DISHWASHER .. I had to re-train in the ancient art of washing up. Thank you.

    Thank you for your feedback. You must have trained the boys well as the cottage (and all the pots, kitchen utensils etc) were spotless when you left! We looked into adding a dishwasher when the kitchen was updated last year, but the dimensions of the units and layout of the kitchen just don't make it a feasible option unfortunately. We look forward to seeing you at Greenbank again in the future. Property Owner
