Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
The location is appreciated for its peace and quiet, proximity to shops, and as a base for exploring nearby attractions. However, some guests noted the busy road outside as a downside.
Guests find the cottage cosy with comfortable bedding and underfloor heating. Some guests had issues with the softness of the beds and the comfort of the lounge seating.
The well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, and fires are highlights, though there were comments about a lack of cutlery, storage space for food, and instructions for appliances. Some guests also experienced issues with the heating system.
The owner's thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome treat of Devonshire cream tea and the provision of ample wood for fires. It should be noted that such personal touches, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
