Floors had been hovered but not mopped as when you wiped them they were dirty. The seals in the shower downstairs were filthy and there were dirty hand marks all over the fridge door. Only one toilet roll supplied per toilet and only one tea towel in the kitchen. The kitchen utensils were a little sparse especially if you wanted to cook a meal. Overall we would return as the location is perfect for us although it needs to be mentioned that it is on a steep hill. Cheapest parking nearby is in the Nothe Car Park about 5 mins away.

Car parking was bit of problem but we knew that before we booked. Toilets not as clean as weâd liked, put plenty of bleach down them both. Blind on kitchen door - no cord, (just minor things.) Couldnât find any torches In Case of power cut. Wouldnât hesitate to book Wey Cottage again.
