The cottage is generally found to be comfortable, with a spacious interior and good heating. However, some guests noted issues with bed placement and a broken garden chair, affecting the overall comfort.

Beautiful property but it might benefit from a deep clean. There were also some draft issues which might need looking at to improve heating costs.
