Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with several reviews mentioning it being 'very clean' and 'beautifully presented'. One review did note having to clean some areas upon arrival, but this seems to be an exception.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, countryside views, and proximity to local attractions and towns. Guests appreciate the rural setting and the ability to take country walks directly from the property.
Comfort is well-regarded with mentions of comfortable beds and furniture. Some guests, however, found the kitchen area cramped and the outdoor seating inadequate, suggesting room for improvement.
Facilities are generally good, with mentions of excellent appliances and a well-equipped kitchen. Criticisms include a lack of food storage, poor outdoor furniture, and some maintenance issues like creaky floors and a swollen bathroom floor.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately.

Lisa
Enjoyed our stay with our daughters and dogs. The cottage is in need of a spruce up - paper coming down in the bathroom. Kitchen is well equipped but quite dark and could do with better lighting. The strip light under the top unit didnât work. Really liked our stay, it was very peaceful and enjoyed the tennis courts.

Particularly liked: paved entry path with ramp to front door, extra wide front door, comfortable beds and bedding, luxurious towels, large shower and plenty of hot water, well equipped kitchen, good WiFi, interesting art decor. Greatest inconvenience was steep stairs with no bannister rail, making shower access difficult for the infirmed. Minor inconveniences were: heavy kettle with loose handle, basic seating cushions, basic terrestrial TV channels, couldn't find any guidance on rubbish disposal.

It was the time that I had to clean directly after arrival. Sanitary facilities and kitchen were clean, other parts not. The outside table and chairs are in a poor state and we didnât like to use them.
