What guests are saying
Great location, private but needs massive improvement.
The very small lounge absolutely stinks, the sofas disgusting and full of fleas, spent the whole week scratching and our two poor dogs were infested with them. No tea towels, had to buy our own bath sheets as the two bath towels are the size of flannels.Garden is disgusting , garden furniture a joke 2 wrought iron chairs no use to anyone. Back gate totally rotten and not secure. General waste bin taken away one day and left in the car park for 3 days ! On the plus side decent kitchen and bedrooms.
The property has its charm but it is also tired and in need of some redecoration.
The ceiling between the ground floor and first floor has no insulation so you can hear everything from upstairs (talking) and downstairs (talking and the TV). Two main concerns that need immediate attention are the cracked ceiling beam by the lounge ceiling light, and all the loose, broken, and unsafe light switches and sockets throughout the property. None of the interior doors close properly. The kitchen lacks some basic items such as pizza trays, oven gloves and a colander, and the pan set needs replacing as the non stick coating is coming off. The bathroom is a good size, the shower is okay, but is affected when the kitchen tap or washing machine is used. The bath towels would benefit from being replaced with better quality ones, as well as having bigger bath sheets. There was no non slip mat or bath mat provided for the shower. The bed linen was good though. The lounge does smell of dog, and the sofas would beneft from a treatment as we had to cover with throws to stop us from itching. The vacuum cleaner itself needs cleaning and a freshener adding because as soon as you use it, it smells of dog. The garden is a good size, but not secure. The broken gate, overgrown borders, rusty outside furniture that can only accommodate two people, loose kerbs, and bent light post that incorporates the washing line, dosn't give the best first impression. You get what you pay for, and despite all this, our party of five had an okay stay. The owner was nice and welcoming when providing the keys, and sorted the electronic parking permit for us on arrival.
The cottage needs a lot of maintenance and a deep clean.
Unfortunately the living room has quite a fusty old smell possibly coming from the sofas. Plug sockets hanging off and cracked, stained cushions in the main bedroom and a dirty oven Outside was dissapointing, no adequate outdoor furniture to use and the garden is unkempt and covered in brambles. Its a shame because with a little bit of TLC it could be absolutely stunning. Two positives, parking was never an issue and the beds were comfortable!
