Guests appreciate the tranquil location, ideal for walks and relaxation, with easy access to local amenities. While the cottage's quaintness is admired, some guests note the kitchen's size and lack of cooking facilities as limitations.

Cleanliness

Reviews indicate a mix of experiences regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the cottage to be spotless, while others reported issues with cobwebs, dust, and pet hairs. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement in cleaning standards.

Location

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful surroundings, and proximity to local attractions. Guests enjoy the peacefulness and the ability to explore the grounds of Appuldurcombe House.

Comfort

Guests find the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable, but some mention that the sofa and seating could be more comfortable. The small size of the cottage is noted, yet many find it adequate for a relaxing stay.

Facilities

The lack of a full kitchen, oven, and proper shower facilities is a common concern among guests. While the setting is appreciated, the limited facilities affect the ability to self-cater and the overall convenience.

Thoughtfulness

Several guests mention welcome gifts, which add a thoughtful touch to their stay. However, it's important to note that such gestures, while appreciated, may not be a consistent offering for all visitors.
