"The owner was very welcoming on arrival and when we had an issue with a frying pan, offered to swap it out."
The property is very well laid out and the bed looks new and was very comfortable, the sofa and armchair in the lounge could do with being replaced as the sitting pads where practically non-existent and had to use cushions to sit on as it wasn't very comfortable.
The bathroom is also looking very tired and the water pressure in the shower wasn't great, although there was plenty of hot water.
There was a strong smell of dog and dampness in the property when we arrived to the extent that we went and bought some air fresheners.

"The property was really nice but the only outside space was a communal courtyard which was open to the road."
This wasn’t made clear in the listing and wasn’t convenient for my dog as he couldn’t go outside whenever he wanted. Apart from that it was a very peaceful stay and the property is well placed for access to everything including country walks.

"A very pleasant Cottage in a quiet Scenic location with friendly, pleasant owners."
All and more of the required utilities. Only fault is the weak WiFi connection which is only minor and shower could have had more power.

"Very dim living room with poorly placed lighting."
All the lighting was very dim as well. Whole of the living area smelled of oil from the central heating boiler in the kitchen. Shower was very poor. No pressure.

"Overall a very comfortable cottage and a good place to stay."
Friendly and helpful owners, but we had difficulty finding the cottage at first. The description seems to be slightly outdated. It would be very helpful if you could add the coordinates.
They are as follows:
54°35'05.0"N 2°38'09.4"W

"Phone can ONLY be used across the road, not in the cottage."
Limited internet available.
Weather was perfect for the whole week.
Is a surcharge payable ?
The owner was always around to talk and listen to any needs,
information or even a hammer.
A car is needed for the area = narrow roads made for walkers?

"We had a lovely holiday."
..just the break we needed. The bed was comfortable, everywhere was clean and the owner was very friendly. The kitchen had a freezer as well as a fridge, which was useful, because with being under Covid restrictions, we took a lot of food with us, so we had plenty of storage.
The only reason I have given 9 out of 10 is because the electric lighting is very dim, but otherwise, everything was fine.
