Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is frequently described as very clean, which suggests a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is repeatedly highlighted for its beautiful views and convenience, indicating an exceptional setting that enhances the guest experience.
Comfort is a recurring theme, with the property being described as comfortable and warm, although one suggestion for a non-slip mat in the bath indicates a small area for improvement.
Facilities are generally praised for being well-equipped and modern. However, one review mentions the property is starting to look a bit tired, which suggests some room for improvement in maintenance.
While the reviews reflect a well-equipped property and mention a welcome pack of biscuits, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures such as gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.

Lovely stay in an ideal situation. Cottage has everything you could wish for. There were one or two issues with maintenance but otherwise no downside

Love the cottage. It's well situated and very clean and organised. Would be more comfortable in the bath if there was a non slip mat and grab rail.
