Guests appreciate the cosy and comfortable atmosphere, with special mentions of the four-poster bed and the welcoming touches like a log burner. The property's charm and the thoughtfulness of the host are frequently highlighted, creating a memorable stay for many.
Reviews present a mixed view on cleanliness. Some guests found the cottage clean with immaculate towels and linen, while others reported issues with general cleanliness, cobwebs, and leftover food, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with a dramatic waterfall and lovely walks directly accessible, contributing to a peaceful and enjoyable experience.
Comfort receives positive feedback, with guests finding beds cosy and the sitting room welcoming. However, some guests noted the four-poster bed was too large for its room, and living room furniture was described as uncomfortable by a few, indicating a variance in comfort levels.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen and a log burner, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as the need for updates in the kitchen and bathroom, and problems with hot water and heating, suggesting that some facilities could be improved.
The host's thoughtfulness is frequently commended, with mentions of welcome gifts such as wine and cakes. However, as these are personal touches and may not be consistent for all stays, they should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Please note: Whilst the cottage has two bedrooms and can accommodate up to five people maximum.
The owner has requested that if booked with 5 people then the second bedroom is ideally suited for children only, this is because there is two single bed's and one separates to make two low beds, which restricts space in the bedroom, the owner also wants to make out the master bedroom is a smaller room and not suitable for those needing a lot of space.

The carpets and soft furnishing very stained and dirty. Also very cluttered. It needs a re decoration and freshen up. Also front door in a bad state Having said that, we enjoyed ourselves and enjoyed the goodies left for us. Waterfall lovely and we saw the trout jumping. Very gloomy. I think the photos are very old.

The cottage was clean, cosy, interesting. The waterfall at the back of the cottage is stunning. Clear instructions are in the cottage as to how everything works and suggestions for places to eat and shop. Definitely cottage is a lovely place to escape the hussell and bussell of everyday life. Sitting out in the back garden watching and listening to the waterfall in the morning and at the end of the day is a very relaxing experience. Thank you.
