It was disappointing that the cottage fell well below expectations of cleanliness. We did contact cottages.com and after several emails from different people, had some sort of a resolution. The location is lovely and we were lucky with the weather so overall had a great holiday, but could have done without the hassle, which is one of the things we go on holiday to avoid! Highlights were a red squirrel and friendly robin in the garden, and beautiful sunsets!

Very disappointed with the cleanliness of the property ,spent over an hour cleaning on our arrival. Family bathroom is in need of attention. The initial response from the office we feel wasn't dealt with very well. However we did enjoy our stay. Just think the property needs some TLC.
