Guests have described the cottage as clean and comfortable, indicating a high standard of cleanliness.
The cottage is praised for its proximity to the countryside, local towns, and pubs, making it a convenient choice for visitors. However, its position on a busy road may affect some guests.
The accommodation is considered comfortable, with good lighting and a cosy atmosphere, although one review mentioned the property being cold upon arrival.
The cottage is equipped with necessary amenities and a small garden. However, the lack of heating upon arrival and no mention of other facilities leads to a moderate score.
