Some minor issues were raised regarding maintenance and facilities, but overall, the reviews reflect a very positive experience.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being clean and tidy. Only one comment about cobwebs and dust suggests a slight room for improvement.
The location is highly appreciated for its tranquility and rural charm, with easy access to country walks and nearby attractions. However, the remoteness may not suit everyone, as indicated by a few guests.
Comfort is consistently highlighted, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy. The presence of flies/wasps and a suggestion for blackout blinds indicate minor comfort concerns.

Lots of repairs need sorting, outside lights, dangerous path " trip hazard. Garden really untidy, No privacy blind in kitchen or on stairs, bath tap needs replacing, heat regulation doesn't work properly. Could really benefit from a safety hand rail fitted to the wall near bath. Main gate needs mesh on bottom to stop dogs escaping. No Iron or ironing board, hardly any bath towels and no bath sheets at all. Lots of cobwebs in windows, dust everywhere. Many of these things have been reported in visitors book previously. Could be a really great property if the owners spent some TLC on it and they're only next door. Such a shame

It is well in the countryside very quiet which is not a bad thing but a good base. Also in the 2nd bedroom with the single beds in it could do with a small wardrobe just to hang clothes in as it was a bit of pain having to share the wardrobe in the main bedroom.
