What guests are saying
We stayed at the house with two married couples and our dog.
The house is so lovingly decorated and well-equipped. We were able to make great use of the garden and the patio in the beautiful weather. However, I didn’t give full marks for the amenities because, for one thing, one window wouldn’t open for ventilation, and the layout separating the kitchen from the sink was a bit annoying for me while cooking. As for the location, I thought it was great because I could set out on wonderful hikes right from the house. My dog also loved walking with me through the woods, meadows, and valleys. All in all, we had a wonderful vacation and would like to say thank you for the warm hospitality we received everywhere we went.
Lovely comfortable cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay
We found the property really comfortable and had pretty much everything you could need.
Lots of really nice touches. Some of the stuff I didn’t like were the soft furnishing's, specifically the scatter cushion's. The homely touches are lovely, but they need to be regularly cleaned, most of them were looking pretty grimy. I would also point out the mattress protectors/ duvets and pillows need to be laundered. Mine were pretty grimy with stains. We found the plumbing in bathroom, specifically the drainage in shower and sink needing inspection. It was VERY slow. The mastic and drainage cap in shower needs replacing. The cap was broken and there was a fair amount of mould which is massively off putting. The floor in bathroom needs looking at also, tiles are cracked and could pose a problem. I also didn’t like the towels, there smelt musty, and to be honest if you’re providing towels they need to processionally laundered. This sounds super negative (just being honest) but we did enjoy our stay. Would I stay again, probably not.
