Only one bedside cabinet, no toilet roll holder, no drainer on sink. No bin in bathroom. OK only minor things but important normally. Needs updating in bathroom, and sofa and chairs were dirty. On the plus side, spacious cottage and well heated.

Very clean & cosy. Excellent communication with flexible check in and out times. Lovely little conservatory with great views. Massive negative with a Gardner in the garden from early morning. (Before 9) for most of the day without even any communication from owner. My self and my husband both have health problems after a busy couple of days we had decided this would be a rest and chill day. Breakfast in bed, looking at the garden. and plans to eat lunch in conservatory The reason we had booked for 3 days also. We are quite private and found this very intrusive. Woken by a strimmer and a man right outside the bedroom window. Consequently, we had breakfast with curtains closed and didn't use conservatory. I realise garden maintenance is needed but this should be booked around changeover days, just like cleaning and any other maintenance. We were only staying 3 days, surely the Gardner could have done it the next day when we were checking out.

There are a couple of bits that could do with some work, the hand rail to the lounge was very loose, hand towel holder loose, only one bedside cabinet in double bedroom other than that it was just wonderful, the patio was great to watch the sunset from.
