Facilities are generally well-received, with adequate kitchen equipment and good showers. Criticisms include the lack of a washing machine, unreliable Wi-Fi, and some dated aspects of the cottage.
While many guests mention the owner's warm and helpful nature, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches beyond the owner's hospitality. Therefore, a score cannot be provided for this category.

3 things to highlight on listing would be , you have to close & open a large gate every time you drive in or out on a concealed entry , your welcome dog canât poo in the garden , so you have to dress & walk around the village for dogs toilet needs of a early morning & Before you go to bed & lastly the weather was warm for our week mostly but of an evening the cottage was cold & we had no control to turn the central heating on , only a electric fan heat that wasnât great . I wouldnât return to the property , but would say Maveen was a great host & very welcoming.
