"Basic neat and clean"

"Otters Den cottages all have a beautiful view of the lions river with an amazing jacuzzi-bath. As we went in the middle of winter the only things we really missed, and that we feel would have made our stay perfect were a fireplace and satelite TV. It obviously depends on what your looking for. We've been to the midlands a few times and we've done all the touristy things, so we were looking for a cozy comfy relaxed two days of lying around reading and drinking hot chocolate all day. Otherwise the cottage was neat and clean and had all the basics to prepare a simple meal."
