This cottage is in a fabulous area and if you like a good meal out and a few drinks the pub 3 doors down is amazing, huge beer garden too. The cottage itself is very small, this should be made very clear. There is a main bedroom and a tiny bedroom with bunk beds which we used for storage.

Very little storage and very little space upstairs. Bedroom with bunk bed is very cramped. Double bed is against a wall. A very small characterful cottage, lovely location, best just for 2 people.

Cute little cottage in an excellent position for sightseeing and on the doorstep of the Cottage Inn where you can get excellent food at a good price. Only really big enough for two adults.

This cottage is not worth the money. Smelly bed linen on mattress that doesn't fit and slats on base falling out. Towels with holes. Very dark and claustrophobic.

The cottage was situated in the lovely village of Dunstable and within easy reach of many great beaches and walks. We found the cottage disappointing in terms of the size and lack of natural light.

Good value, simple tidy cottage accomodating a small family which are not easy to come by - usually only large properties seem to be available so to have this choice was great. Not that it happened to us, but i would suggest that there is limited drying/airing of wet clothes so take enough in case its a wash out and you cant dry your stuff in time

Fantastic cottage and great location. However it is small. I'm not sure how a family of 4 would mange. There are 2 bedrooms up stairs but only really enough room in the double bedroom to get dressed etc. Very limited wardrobe space.

In a quiet village location it is a great little cottage for two people but the second bedroom is so small, even with bunk beds, that a family would struggle for space. The kitchen area was well equipped as was the lounge/diner area.
