Great for local dog walks. It was really helpful that owners had described local dog walks in guest book.

Said she was not expecting our 1 year old toddler. When I booked I clearly selected the correct age. Advertising details are totally wrong as well .Advertised there as a cottage, but what we had was 3 bedroom very old dirty flat. Carpets are like so many years old and very old furnitures ,plaster board wall looks like still some construction work going on.Thereâs no extractor fan in the kitchen. She said they have not charge for cleaning so we have to clean everything under her inspection. She came at 9.45 before we checked out and ordered to get out bedding and clean everything which was so rude and annoying although we had cleaned everything nicely before she comes. We went for a holiday to enjoy with family.But we never expected this kind of nasty situation. We also have been in so many holidays all over the England and abroad. This is first time we face this type of miserable situation. She said if we need heating we need to contact her to get heating on . I donât understand how people legally do this. Its should be automatic for certain temperatures specially for holiday houses. Luckily we didnât bother as we on summer.They have mentioned about a privately car park. But car parking was on another side for only one car.Also to get in to the flat we had carry stuff through the road. There is back garden looks nice but as we are in a flat itâs pointless. Please donât trust this first picture. Thatâs where we make the biggest mistake. They have uploaded this picture cheeky way . It is just back of house and 1 side gate is locked as well.basically we lost our holiday and money. I wouldnât recommend to anybody this place
