Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy, with several guests specifically mentioning its cleanliness. This suggests a high standard of hygiene and care.
The location is praised for its quietness, scenic surroundings, and proximity to walking areas and attractions. However, parking difficulties slightly affect the score.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, but some mention narrow beds and a central hollow in one bed, indicating room for improvement in sleeping arrangements.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good-sized fridge/freezer. However, several reviews cite the need for maintenance on items like the cooker and shower, impacting the score.
While many guests mention appreciating the biscuits, milk, and dog treats, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across all reviews, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

The hot water was cold. Every time we turn the heating up after about 25 minutes to an hour. It was turned back down. This was the same every day. Also the cooking trays were very poor condition and the cooker had a great crack across one of the plates, I was very disappointed with this and I would not recommend it to anybody The boss round the edges was all mouldy. I was hoping to have a nice break because me and my wife work a hectic schedules but after three days we gave up and come home because downstairs was so cold we actually sat in our coat one day.
