I don't like leaving poor reviews, but this time I feel I should. Firstly, some of the bed linen wasn't clean; there were blood stains on the duvet on my bed, making me question if it had been changed from the previous occupant, so the second night I changed beds to find the same thing again and no I wasn't the cause of this. The blind in the main bathroom was very mouldy as well as broken and the shower on/off dial was not working; it was very difficult to turn the shower on and it would stop mid flow and thus a battle to get it to turn on again. It was very cold in the house and I understand that there was no central heating available during the summer, but I feel a fan heater should have been available just to take the chill out of the rooms. I resorted to using the main fan oven in the kitchen as a heat source. There were other issues but I don't want this to be nit picking review, so these were the main problems for me.

Lovely location, lots of walks on the doorstep. Property felt a bit tired - peeling wallpaper and window blinds that didn't work properly. Enclosed garden was only accessible through a very narrow gap up some steps, and had to go out of front door around to the back of the cottage.Shower cubicles are very small (and we are not big people)!TV was frustrating - couldn't get BBC channels. But a lovely part of the country to visit.

The cottage itself is spacious and has a fully equipped kitchen.The bad points are that the BBQ isn't usable, it needed replacing last year when i stayed and the benches in the garden are rotten.I have put in a complaint as the property is severely damp and one of the bedrooms has black mould on the walls and paper peeling of the walls. If you suffer from asthma you will find breathing difficult. It’s a shame as its such a sizeable place to stay if only the owner was to spend money on it!
