I’m not one for giving bad reviews, I just wouldn’t stay again. But, the sofas and dining chairs were very uncomfortable. First property in 20 years with no washing machine. (I should have checked). A washing machine would have been better than a dishwasher. It’s two months since a review mentioned the shower flooding the floor and it hasn’t been put right. The towels were awful. The TV, only free view! Cobwebs on the lights. The only good points were the comfortable bed and parking.

Nice cottage, lighting in dinning room awful. Nothing in kitchen apart from salt and pepper, and only 1 toilet roll for 4 days. Stayed in many cottages this seemed a bit bare essentials only .
