Guests frequently mention the comfortable beds and cosy atmosphere of the cottage. Some guests noted issues with a squeaky bed and the size of the double bed, but these comments were relatively few compared to the overall positive feedback on comfort.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a modern bathroom and kitchen amenities. However, there are several remarks about maintenance issues such as a non-working vacuum, lack of hot water, and minor appliance problems. These issues slightly detract from an otherwise positive view of the facilities.
While some guests appreciated the provision of tea, coffee, and dog bowls, there are mixed comments regarding welcome packs and gifts. As there is no consistent mention of gifts being provided, and some guests expressed disappointment at their absence, it is not possible to accurately score this category.
