Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some guests were satisfied, one review mentioned the kitchen and oven were not up to standard, requiring a clean before use. This suggests room for improvement in this area.
The location is generally well-regarded for its proximity to woods, hill walks, and quiet surroundings. However, one guest noted the property's proximity to a fast road, which posed some concerns for safety when walking.
Guests found the cottage warm, cosy, and comfortable, with several reviews highlighting the comfort of the property. One minor issue was the weak flow for the bath, but overall, the comfort level was high.
Facilities were mostly praised, with the cottage being described as well-equipped. However, there were comments about substandard maintenance in some parts of the cottage, and the bath's water flow was mentioned as an area for improvement.
There were no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category.
