Some guests mention a lack of certain kitchen items, a wobbly table, and issues with the shower screen and bed.

I would like to say cottage was warm and comfortable BUT no welcome pack as the owner said they didn't no we were coming to stay ( very laughable) WiFi well I don't no what to say don't bother with it ( we live in the countryside ours is slow but this was horrendous) One day no WiFi rung owner said the RCD had tripped in the owners house it does it when it rains sometimes omg Outside was very disappointing scruffy and the back was the same I was cleaning up dog poo what did not belong to my dogs The wooden steps were very slippy with the green moss had to pour boiling water on the steps No info for TV cooker shower have to rember everyone technical gadgets all different Took us a hour to work tv Cooker all symbols are different to my fan oven nightmare Shower Took a bit to work out the water is very hot no caution notice to warn you (As we all no when we are in our own homes temp is set for the hot water ) No info to say they was a kick board heater in kitchen only found out has we were reading other reviews ( not everyone knows what a kick board heater is to me it looks like some kind of vent system) had to move kettle when I was there kept hitting my head on the cooker hood The wooden doors into garden from the kitchen was very hard to open and lock The hover was pretty terrible no suction only when you took the head off

The safe garden was enjoyed by our dog. Cottage was warm, comfortable and well equipped. Great place to explore the area, we particularly enjoyed Loggerheads country park.

Close to shops and easy access to major roads. Parking was a little difficult as owners had a motor home parked up close to the property but as long as passenger in our car directed driver it was managable. It was important to always have two people in hand when entering and exciting as gate needs to be kept closed and the road is narrow and close to blind corners. Plenty of easy access walks near by and very dog friendly. Inside the rental there was everything you needed for a comfortable stay and owners on hand if needed.
