The Bungalow is an idyllic property in a beautiful location We had plenty of room and everything we wanted to do was close by but a car is needed to get aroundThe Building is looking tired much TLC is needed Also disappointing Towels were not put out And toilet rolls were not left out And thanks to the local plumber for sorting hot water issue Apart from this we loved staying there The dogs loved the Garden We would very likely go back

Holiday was good good weather, but the Bungalow was not very clean, don't know if it was the people before us or the cleaners.In the downstairs bedroom opposite the stairs on the left hand side there was a set of drawers this was my 13 year old grand daughters bedroom in the second drawer there was a pair of filthy lady's skimpy lacey knickers that were mucky, i had to remove them with a stick.There were also full doggy bags on the side but not in the bin. There were also stains on the duvets and covers looked like it was from dogs.We have stayed in many locations with Cottages.com and this is the first time we have not been happy with the accommodation,The owner rang us the moment we arrived almost before we had a chance to have a good look around, maybe it would be better to ring at the end of a holiday.A small point but it was also the first time there was no welcome pack ie milk welsh cakes.
