Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the property to be clean and well-presented, with only a few isolated comments about cobwebs and wet floors upon arrival. The overall impression is that the property is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and access to local walks and attractions. The proximity to the golf course and the coast, as well as the presence of wildlife, are frequently mentioned as highlights.
Guests consistently describe the property as comfortable and cosy, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. The presence of two living rooms and a secure garden adds to the comfort of the stay. However, some guests mentioned draughty windows and a lack of dark blinds in bedrooms.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and amenities like Sky TV and a washing machine. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a broken dishwasher, weak water pressure, and a lack of wood for the fire, which impacts the score.
Guests have noted thoughtful touches like a Christmas tree during the festive season, and the host's responsiveness to requests, such as providing extra wood. However, as these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, they are a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Spacious property in a lovely setting, the property needs a some work doing on it, flaking ceiling in the upstairs bathroom, big cracks in the other rooms. As it was only myself staying with 2 dogs I shut off two of the bedroom and the lounge with the fireplace for my stay. The first night I was there I let the blinds down in the bedroom and when I pulled it up in the morning one piece of string broke, as I tied it back together I noticed the blinds were very mouldy, for the rest of the visit I left the blinds up as was worried they would break. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need but it would be nice to have a cupboard spare to put food in. As my dogs got muddy each time we had a 10-20miles walk it would of been handy to have a outside tap to wash them down or a bucket with no hole

On arrival the oven was not working, as it was late this was reported the following morning(Sunday). It was repaired on Thursday, most of our fresh food was off by then and thrown away. We came home on Friday a day early so realy had no cooking facilities all of our stay. A basket full of logs was provided but the log burner was broken and would allow carbon monoxide to build up in the room so it was unuseable. Apart from the obvious lack of maintainance the house was perfect as are its surroundings and we hope to be back in the lakes soon. PS, the gardener was very pleasant and helpful, top man your lucky to have him.

The cottage is clean and well presented with all you would need for a comfortable stay. Beautiful views, with local attractions and plenty of local eating establishments, all good value for money. Even our Labrador was catered for, dog blanket and chews for his stay.
