Cleanliness is a concern, with multiple guests reporting issues such as unclean kitchenware, dust, and rubbish from previous stays. The property appears to require a more thorough cleaning regime to meet guest expectations.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local shops, pubs, and scenic walks, including proximity to Hadrian's Wall. The village of Haltwhistle offers a friendly atmosphere, adding to the appeal of the cottage's setting.
Comfort receives mixed reviews; some guests find the cottage spacious and comfortable, while others mention issues with mattresses and seating. The noise from the nearby road is also a concern for some visitors.
Facilities and maintenance are areas for improvement. Guests have noted outdated appliances, a need for kitchenware updates, and a leak in the bathroom. The TV system also lacks certain channels, affecting the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored, and guests should not expect additional amenities beyond the standard offering.
