“We did think it was very dark inside seeing as the windows were so small l suppose that was why.”
We were invested with flies......we purchased the stuff we needed and got rid of them......or so we thought! Even with windows and door closed they were still getting in somewhere and drove us mad.
I thought l had read in the description that there was a shared grass area that we could walk our dog or let her play. Apparently not.......the lady who was staying in the adjoining cottage told us on no uncertain terms were we allowed to use the grass area. This surprised us, having a dog with us meant we needed a area where she could let off steam etc but the lady who is the Mother of the owner of the cottage was adamant we couldn’t use any of the grass areas.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback.
Were very sorry if you were told that you were not able to use the grassed areas at the cottage. Corn Rigg Cottage, and the adjacent cottage (Rusby Barn) both have their own private secluded seating areas, but the grassed areas and the large driveway are open to be used by guests in both cottages. There are also a number of public footpaths, open fields, and quiet country lanes right on the doorstep of the cottages, where guests can take their dogs for a walk.
As Corn Rigg Cottage is in the heart of the countryside and surrounded by farm land, there may occasionally be flies, as you might expect from that type of rural environment. However, we have not received any feedback previously stating that flies have been a problem, and when we have stayed their ourselves, we have also never experienced any issues.
Kind regards, Claire and Simon McAnulty (Owners)
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry if you thought that you were told that you could not use the grassed areas at the cottage. My parents believed that you had asked if your dog could use the open field in front of the cottages, which is owned by a local farmer, and which often has sheep in.

As Corn Rigg Cottage is in the heart of the countryside and surrounded by farm land, you might expect to occasionally see flies about. The cottage was thoroughly cleaned the morning of your stay and also thoroughly cleaned on your departure, and there was absolutely no evidence of any flies, let alone an infestation. We were actually staying with my parents in the adjacent cottage during your stay, and we did not experience any such problems with flies, and have actually never done so. Kind regards,
