The place has gone downhill drastically since we stayed here last year. The toilet \ bathroom door handle has been pulled off and replaced with a door stop so no privacy. The garden patio furniture has been removed and the grass is a foot tall. The mattress is badly in need of replacement, it's a major job to turnover.It seems the place has been allowed to go to rack and ruin. Very disappointed so much so we cancelled our booking for later in the summer and booked elsewhere.

We enjoyed the location it's a beautiful part of the world. The cottage is in need of maintenence. Using the toilet is one of those moments, a private affair if you will, however the bathroom door remains broken. The washing machine is located in a shed in the garden this has not been cleaned, the tumble dryer is broken and does not work. The bed mattress needs to be replaced, and there are numerous spider webs in the bathroom, in the corner of the lounge, the blinds have no way of opening, you have to use your fingers, although there is a integrated coffee machine, the instructions were unclear. The level of uncleaness such as under the bed gave the over all impression that the owner, has not enough interest in maintaining the property. This to reflects upon Cottages. Com.

We were disappointed with the state of the cottage. It had not been cleaned properly with previous dog hair in evidence. In addition, the inside door handle to the bathroom was broken off which compromised both privacy and safety. Finally, the grass in the back garden was long and unkempt which made it unnecessarily difficult to pick up dog poo. Overall the cottage and sun room both seemed tired and in need of a spruce up.
