“Cottage is good sized, comfortable and warm but is a bit cluttered with a dated appearance.”
Because the weather was unfortunately dismal when we stayed we felt the lighting in the cottage could be made brighter, with a better light bulbs in the dining area and lounge.
Despite the best efforts by the host, and although we were offered use of the host’s wifi in their absence, wifi was unfortunately limited to standing outside only and maybe the description should include about lack of mobile coverage. Garden area is shared with the owners. No covered bike storage area available. Lots of useful leaflets and print outs of the local area were provided, but perhaps this could be presented better in a welcome folder with more info about the cottage and recycling. Host was very helpful and obliging and even gave us a lift into town. These are just suggestions not criticisms.

Thank you so much for your feedback and I’m so glad we could help with giving you a lift. Thank you also for the super comments you left in our property guestbook, we’re glad you had a great time. If we had known you could not locate the shed for the bikes we would of course have told you where to find it, but moving forward we will now include that info in the welcome folder for the property, thank you for that suggestion.
We’re sad that the weather was bad during your visit, which of course will always make rooms a little darker than usual and when spending more time indoors than usual it regrettably coincided with the internet cable being damaged during some routine garden maintenance. Apologies for this, it has been fully rectified and the superfast broadband is now fully operational again.
We have taken on board your suggestion regarding removing some ornaments, although we do feel that the décor generally is in keeping with the rural character property that we have and hope that this is clear in the photographs.
The garden area covers 14 acres which guests are free to use any part of and we also have a designated private and undisturbed guest patio area (picture 17) with views of the rolling hills where guests can sit and relax when the weather permits.
Thank you again for your suggestions, it is very much appreciated.
