  • "We appreciated the wine, biscuits and crisps, thank you."

    We’ve stayed three times this year and love it. Was a bit surprised there was no shower gel and shampoo as before. Good clear instructions and information and easy collecting the key. We will hopefully be back again.

  • "Brilliant location and the garden was perfect for the dog."

    Cute cottage which we knew was going to have some challenges. I think as guests have mentioned before there are a couple of improvements that could be made to improve the quality of the stay. Appreciate there is nothing you can do about the stairs or ceiling heights but a decent and comfortable sofa for 2 people to comfortably sit on would make a huge difference. Fortunately the weather was good for us however if we had to stay in the cottage for long periods we would not of been comfortable. There was also no bin information so we didn't know which wheelie bin to put out when we left. Ended up leaving both by the gate.

  • "The cottage itself needs , work doing to it which is a shame because it could be perfect."

    The bench outside the whole back had collapsed, presumably that’s why it’s resting against the wall. The coffee machine leaked, fridge needed de icing, TV needed tuning in. Crack in the water jug. Bathroom needs an overhaul especially the shower. There wasn’t proper instructions for the wheelie bin to be put out , so we put out both only the recycling was emptied so we had another week of a stinky full bin, flies and all.!!!!! All this aside we had lovely weather and the garden was super for the dog, lovely spot and easy to access everything. Thank you for the welcome pack!

  • "The property has some good features such as the shower and garden."

    The stairs are potentially dangerous. We were ok as we are slim and agile but many larger people would have struggled. The tv didn’t work for any live tv. It has the wrong date on it and no signal. It needs upgrading.
