Guests that stayed at this property said
Several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, including dirty windows, kitchen floors, and a stained duvet. Although the property has potential, the cleanliness has been noted as a concern.
The cottage is praised for its beautiful location and gorgeous views. The village setting is also appreciated, contributing to a picturesque experience.
Guests find the cottage to be very comfortable and relaxing, with a well-equipped setup. However, some mention that parking is not ideal, slightly affecting the comfort level.
While the cottage is well-equipped and tastefully decorated, there are several mentions of maintenance issues, such as hard-to-open windows and a slippery path, which need addressing.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Cottage is in a beautiful location with gorgeous views . It was spoilt by the lack of attention to cleaning including dirty door mat and kitchen windows, sticky kitchen floor, dusty ornaments and stained duvet on the double bed . There are also maintenance issues that require attention which we have reported including windows that are very hard to open and shut . We did speak to the holiday letting company on arrival and they offered to send cleaners to deep clean … I had already cleaned and suggested that they make sure it was all rectified before the next people arrived. With a bit of attention this could be a great place stay .

No Fire Place utensils, windows dirty, (I have images) … windows wouldn’t open - On entry to the property one of our party slipped over luckily no damage - the path / stairs upto the property were covered in slippery moss so I had to clean the pathway given it was lethal … inside the cottage was a warning so disappointingly they knew … if the people who I believe live in London knew about this stuff they would hopefully sort these issues out or stop taking money of people for properties not fit for renting … I will be taking this further and a bill for compensation will be coming to yourselves Totally unacceptable
