Mixed feedback on cleanliness, with several guests finding the cottage dirty and appliances outdated, while others did not comment on this aspect. The negative remarks suggest room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, scenic surroundings, and proximity to local attractions. Guests enjoy the rural setting and the opportunity for walks and exploration.
Comfort receives positive remarks for the cosy atmosphere and characterful features. However, some guests mention issues with mattresses and a lack of modern conveniences, slightly reducing the score.
Facilities are seen as adequate by some but are criticised by others for being outdated and in need of refurbishment. The absence of a shower and the presence of old appliances are noted drawbacks.
Guests mention a warm welcome and thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, and milk on arrival. However, as not all reviews reference gifts and their presence is not guaranteed, the score reflects this variability.

On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a shared bathroom complete with freestanding claw bath, ready for a good soak after a walk on the moor.

My only suggestion would be a few more choices of glasses ( bigger wine glasses / gin glasses /pint glasses , Prosecco glasses ) but that wouldnât stop me returning. I would just bring my own . Very enjoyable stay .

It was incredibly thoughtful that tea, coffee and milk were all left for us on arrival - made us feel very welcome and special. The friendly chickens, cats, sheep and goats really gave a sense of connection to the land and the fact this is still very much a working farm. The kitchen was really well equipped and there was tons of hot water for bathing the kids home from the beach. The outside picnic table was lovely to have sunny breakfast at and the location is very close to lots of wonderful beaches, harbours and whilst still being within very reasonable driving distance of London and the south east. One small thing - it IS a beautiful old stone dairy cottage so the downstairs is very slightly damp, as most old stone buildings have a tendency to be, which was a little bit of an issue for my son's asthma - solved by airing with windows opened regularly - no problem really in summer, with sunshine and when you are out for most of the day. The sofa, chairs and beds were all extremely comfy, the WiFi was WAY better than I had expected it to be - I could comfortably work while there, and its homely and in keeping with this truly beautiful cottage. Thank you so much - I strongly suspect we will return....
