Very clean, warm and comfortable. Would happily stay again. If I can give any kind of constructive criticism it would be that maybe some instructions for the hob would be useful (as someone who has always used a gas hob, it took quite a bit if working out!). Oh, and maybe a doormat for when you come in after a rainy walk would be useful.

We recently spent four nights here, it's a lovely little lodge for a break away. There is a welcome pack of bread, milk, butter and orange juice which was lovely. Take your own tea, coffee and sugar, we hadn't realised so soon had to go back out. We found it quite difficult to find in the dark. The what3words took us somewhere down the road, the what3wordsfor the start of driveway is ///luxury.weekend.static A doormat would be ideal, when the dogs are in and out the floors are soon getting wet and grubby. Also a spray or flash mop or something would have been great to be able to quickly go over the floors, as again, with the dogs in and out we had to keep using wipes which was a pain. We didn't actually meet the owners which we thought a little odd but I guess some may appreciate it? Overall we had a really nice break, the kids loved it and loved seeing the sheep and horses just outside and we found plenty to do in the area

The only small criticism would be that there were no instructions for the tv or heater although after some trial and error I did work how to use them. One other thing that you would need to be aware of is that there is nowhere to hang your clothes. A line of coat hooks on the bed partition would be ideal. As I say, just small points.
