Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it lovely and clean. However, there are isolated comments about the need for more thorough cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom, which slightly impacts the score.
The location is highly praised for its quietness and proximity to local sights, shops, and natural attractions like Bodmin Moor and the coast. The peaceful setting and wildlife sounds contribute to a high score in this category.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere, especially with the wood burner lit, but there are several mentions of uncomfortable mattresses and pillows, and the cottage being cold at times, which affects the score.
Facilities are generally good, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and thoughtful touches like games and DVDs. However, issues with TV settings, insufficient hot water, and maintenance concerns like the need for better garden upkeep and safer stair banisters lower the score.
While the reviews mention thoughtful touches like games, DVDs, and a question jar, there are no specific references to gifts provided by the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category accurately, and the score is set to null.

However, it would need to be better maintained. Thorough cleaning of the kitchen or bathroom is absolutely necessary. The garden would also appreciate more affection. So the price is not appropriate at the moment.
