Beautiful location and cottage however it definitely needs new furniture including beds. Mattresses need updating desperately, sofas very old and dated and conservatory furniture is all saggy when you sit on it. Also needs a more adequate heater in there.Cleanliness needs looking at, cobwebs that are definitely not new.Potentially, could be a beautiful cottage.We enjoyed our stay as it’s set in a beautiful location. The cottage has all the cooking equipment you need and the hosts were pleasant to talk to.Cottage just needs a bit of tlc.
