Guests have generally found Millie's Cottage to be clean, though there have been occasional comments about areas that could be improved, such as under the sofa cushions and the top bedroom. The presence of damp towels and dead flies were noted, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre and local attractions. Parking is noted as occasionally challenging due to narrow streets, but guests have not found this to significantly detract from the overall convenience of the location.
Comfort is a strong point for Millie's Cottage, with guests finding the living areas cosy and the dining space ample. The presence of modern kitchen and bathrooms adds to the comfort, although some guests mentioned low ceilings in the top floor and a narrow kitchen.

This was our second stay at Millie’s cottage .Cottage has everything you need and is well located. The only down side was the towels smelt damp so has to wash them , not a big issue as there is a washer /dryer.My grandson had lost one of his toys and when we lifted the cushions on the sofa it wasn’t pleasant, don’t think it was just from the last guests either, I was disappointed with that.Not sure we’ll stay again.
