Guests have described the cottage as 'spotlessly clean' and 'fitted out to a high standard', indicating a high level of cleanliness throughout the property.
The property is easy to find and ideal for visiting the local area. However, its proximity to a busy road has been a concern for some guests, affecting the tranquility expected from a private terrace.
The cottage provides a comfortable bed and adequate living space, as mentioned by guests. However, some found the sofa too soft and low, suggesting room for improvement in seating comfort.
While the interior is well-equipped, there is a lack of outdoor furniture and clarity on waste disposal. The absence of a dishwasher and facilities for drying clothes were noted. No specific reviews addressed maintenance, so a score cannot be provided.
Welcome gifts were mentioned positively, indicating a thoughtful touch by the hosts. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, this should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

It is clean and fitted out to a high standard, although the property is limited for airing and drying clothes/towels. The parking area at the front is the only outside space. The living space is adequate and we were able to relax in front of the TV in the evening. We found the bed very comfortable and it was quiet overnight. We did not specific instructions regarding waste disposal/recycling, of the two bins outside one had no lid and the other contained garden waste. It was ideal for our purposes, as a couple staying for a few days visiting friends and we would use it again for a similar period of time.
