The cottage is on a main road and there was very heavy traffic day and night making sleep difficult. The cottage was really attractivly furnished. The garden was rather rough and unattractive.

Nothing to add to the property owner.

Very overgrown and the grass hadnât been cut for some time. Disappointing. The road outside is so very busy. Must be careful with either children or dogs running out. Cleanliness was adequate. The toaster needed cleaning and the sink could have done with some bleach down it. Very surprised that there wasnât any cleaning products available and only 1 bin bag. Luckily I had taken extra toilet roll as I had read before that there wasnât a spare one . On the whole we had a pleasant ,stay just a shame about the garden and the busy road. Excellent for catching the bus, stops are very nearby. Have noticed on a property website that the house is up for sale, so maybe that is why they have let the garden get out of control a bit.
