Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the cottage was disappointing upon arrival. The dishes and pots were oily and chipped, and the kitchen was not well-equipped and in dire need of an update. The vacuum cleaner had a bad odor and lacked proper suction, while the drawers and fridge were dirty. The cushions and blankets were old, worn, and appeared unclean. The small hair dryer was faulty, constantly overheating and failing to work. When I raised this issue with the owner, she insisted that it was functioning and asked me to manage with it. Most surfaces were smeared, and while the owner did send someone to clean, the results were underwhelming, and the bathroom still had mold. The cottage had potential to be a lovely space, but it needs better upkeep, cleaning, and updated amenities to truly be enjoyable for guests.

Spacious, and very comfortable. An extremely well fitted kitchen, with everything you could need. Bathroom and ensuite upstairs could both benefit from a shelf for putting things on. Our main concern was absolutely no outdoor space. For a dog friendly cottage, this was a problem. The front door opened straight to the pavement, by a fairly busy road. It didn't mention in the property details, if there was or wasn't outdoor space, but we, sadly, assumed there was. Property was in such a fantastic location, we'd have loved to go back, but unable to with our dog.
