It did feel a a bit tired and the cleanliness wasn't that good, we had to wash up the cooking pots before we could use them and it just felt a bit unloved. The slats on the single bed came away very easily, it would only takes someone to go round with a screwdriver and fix them in position to sort them out. The pressure on the shower is very weak. It was an enjoyable stay, but could do with a bit of a re-furb.

The system for pre arranging parking and collecting the keys - couldn't fault. On arrival the cottage looked clean, a few scuff marks here and there but nothing major. We noticed a slight problem after the first night and bought it to the owner's attention, this was sorted promptly and we were happy. We found the mattress on the bed way too soft for our liking. Our main issue was the cleanliness of the saucepans and some of the kitchen utensils which we only noticed after a few days. The saucepans all had food residue in them which we had to clean out and most of the knives and forks had grease on them. We found that unacceptable and shoukd have been picked up by the cleaning staff before we arrived. Apart from that issue we had a good stay.

The hot water is really hot very quickly, and the bed is super comfortable. We appreciate the car parking and the fact that the accommodation is very quietly situated but so central to everything you might need in the town. We were a little disappointed that the glasses needed washing before we could use them, and we had no cupboard to store our food. However the fridge and freezer were very useful. Thank you.
