Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the property to be clean, while others reported issues such as dirty dishes and a lack of basic cleaning supplies. There were also mentions of cobwebs and a strong smell in the kitchen.

The location is highly praised for its beauty and proximity to the town and shops. However, some guests noted the lack of walkability directly from the property due to it being off a main road.

The property is generally considered comfortable with ample space and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned that the beds were uncomfortable and the mattresses thin, which detracts from the overall comfort.

Facilities like the hot tub and fishing lakes are well-liked, and the property is equipped for large groups. Maintenance issues were noted, such as the need for TLC, appliance repairs, and better cleaning under furniture.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category.

    The house was very cosy with a log burner, comfy sofas and sky TV. Hot tub was a big plus and provided some extra luxury for the stay. Owner was really friendly, helpful and accommodating. Overall a pleasure to stay. There's a sofa bed in the snug room so fitted 12 comfortably.

  • Lisa

    There were a lot of local attractions to go to. We fished all week on the lakes provided which fished well. Log burner was good in the evenings and the whole family enjoyed the hot tub. Kitchen was fully equipped, plus more. There were plenty of towels provided. Could not really ask for anything more. We will definitely stay again, hopefully next year. Thank you for a lovely stay.
