Big downfall is cleanliness. Needs a deep clean. Pillows need replacing due to dirtiness. Putting pillow protectors on doesnt solve the issue only hides it.

We liked its location and the peace and quiet. Excellent facilities provided, but as an elderly couple and the bad weather encountered, it could be cold in the evenings. The very helpful owners provided increased heat as was needed. We felt that a sound bar for the TV would be benefical, together with a larger, heavier front door mat. Otherwise great.

Owner Mrs ogrady very nice. Not great having to strip the beds before you leave. As you pay a lot to rent the cottage.
