While some modernisation is planned, the current facilities and access may present challenges for those with mobility issues or for larger vehicles.
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests are very satisfied with.
The location is praised for its beauty, tranquillity, and proximity to local amenities. The presence of wildlife and scenic views contribute to a high rating, though parking difficulties are noted.
The cottage is described as small and compact, with some suggestions for more comfortable outdoor furniture. The new deck is a positive addition, but there are mentions of a sofa needing attention.
Facilities are generally good, with everything needed for a stay. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a torn carpet, damaged window frame, and the need for clearing fishing channels, which affects the score.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category.
