Guests appreciate the beautiful scenery, the presence of grazing sheep, and the helpful host, Phil. The cottage is described as clean, cosy, and comfortable, with a few suggestions for minor improvements.
The cottage is generally described as clean. One review mentioned the oven trays were quite dirty, but this seems to be an isolated comment amidst overall positive feedback on cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its idyllic remoteness, peacefulness, and beautiful views, making it excellent for outdoor activities and a quiet getaway.
The property is considered comfortable, with a cosy atmosphere and a clean, light, and airy main bedroom. However, there is a mention of the sitting area chairs not matching the photographs, which could affect comfort expectations.
Facilities are adequate, with some reviews suggesting improvements in kitchen equipment and lighting. The presence of guide books for walking is appreciated, but the mention of a microwave with split plastic and dingy lighting in the living room suggests room for maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to score this category. Guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.
