It's a comfortable retreat for those with pets and families, offering a true farm experience. While some guests mentioned minor issues with maintenance and the shower pressure, the overall sentiment is positive, with many willing to return and recommend it to others.
Cleanliness
Guests consistently noted the cottage's cleanliness, with plenty of towels and necessary cleaning supplies provided. The property is maintained to a high standard, contributing to a pleasant stay.
Location
The location is appreciated for its peace and proximity to attractions, though it requires driving. Some found the directions challenging and the immediate area lacking in activities, but it serves well as a base for exploring.
Comfort
The cottage is generally found to be comfortable, with a well-fitted kitchen and comfortable beds. However, some guests mentioned issues with the double bed's position and the living space being a bit cramped for larger groups.
Facilities
Facilities are adequate, with guests appreciating the inclusion of a coffee press and dishwasher tablets. Criticisms include poor water pressure in the shower, ineffective freezer compartment, and a lack of sharp knives. Some maintenance issues were raised, such as light bulbs needing replacement.
Thoughtfulness
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of tea, coffee, and shortbreads, as well as sticks for walking. While these gestures are well-received, guests should be aware that such gifts are kindly offered but not guaranteed with every stay.
