What guests are saying
No dvd as advertised.
No radio as advertised. Both toilets smelled and looked like they had not been cleaned in ages. Carpets were dirty and the settee had collapsed at the one end. Many people before us had complained about how uncomfortable it was but still nothing done about it.
Great Location.
Great Host, who actually spent time explaining all things when we arrived. A good Co-Op just 5 mins up the road. Good Pubs around. A lovey clean spacious cottage. Use of the Hosts pool if you wanted.
Interesting place with some old and some new parts.
Liked the water collection and solar heated water but took a while to get really hot water. Taps a bit hit and miss as probably need new washers. No mixer tap in basin 2. Circular glass table needs maintenance. Sofas a bit soft and recliner didn't recline. Otherwise quite well equipped and functional. We didn't use the pool at all. Single level accommodation with hand rails etc in place for the less mobile. Can easily miss the entrance to the site.
