Guests find it cosy, well-equipped, and appreciate the welcome basket. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the cottage's charm and location make it a repeat choice for many visitors.
The cottage is generally well-received for cleanliness, though a mention of cobwebs suggests room for improvement. Overall, guests seem satisfied with the level of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its centrality and convenience, particularly for those using public transport. Proximity to local amenities is a consistent positive across reviews.
The cottage is described as cosy and warm, indicating a high level of comfort. However, a single comment about an uncomfortable sofa suggests that while generally comfortable, there could be enhancements to seating.
Facilities are well-regarded, especially the well-equipped nature of the cottage. Some maintenance issues like a non-functioning light and a rusted bench are noted, indicating that while facilities are good, there is some need for attention.
The welcome basket is mentioned as a nice touch, reflecting thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and there is insufficient information on other aspects of thoughtfulness, a definitive score cannot be provided.

It was very nice and cosy. Just a few cobwebs in bathroom on skylight plus light by outside door doesn't work and it's extremely dark at night when coming back had to use my flashlight on phone. But other than that it was lovely
