We had a wonderful 5 nights at Mallard cottage with our youngest 4 children ages 6-18.

The cottage was clean and comfortable. There were no issues with Wifi which pleased our teenagers. The kitchen was very well equipped and the dining area seated all 6 of us comfortably. We enjoyed the use of the onsite swimming pool for 4 of our 5 days booking was easy and the pool area was never overcrowded as they have plenty of 1 hour slots available. Our 6 & 9 year olds had fun at a halloween crafts event and a halloween disco both held onsite. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area and we hope to return in the future.

The cottage was generally excellent and met our needs.

However the greatest weakness was that the instructions for the appliances were poor - in several cases referring to different applicances from the ones provided. The worst example was the oven. The instructions were for an electric oven but the one actually present was gas. Moreover it did not work well - it became obvious that it simply was not reaching the temperature set on the dial. We needed to give meals much longer to cook than we would expect, and there was a risk of having undercooked meat. There were no instructions to connect to the WiFi and on arrival and no obvious signal to connect to. On enquiring at reception it turned out that WiFi was broken in the whole area, and it took 2 days to sort out. Once it worked it was excellent. In summary, an excellent cottage let down by a few details.
