It was lovely, very clean and well decorated. It had everything in it that we could have wanted. The location is good and we tried a couple of the local takeaways. The walks around the reservoirs were really good and the scenery is just beautiful. The dampener for the week, other than the weather, which was very wet, was that the electricity board were working outside all day Tuesday so it was difficult to park near the cottage due to how they had the road blocked off. Then on the Wednesday, they cut the electric from 9am - 5pm so we had to spend the day out all day, mostly in the rain, with 2 dogs - it was not much fun at all. It is not the fault of the cottage owners and there was nothing that they could have done about the situation, however it put a bit of a dampener on an otherwise brilliant stay.

The cottage did have quite a stale smell when we arrived (I know itâs pet friendly) and it wasnât quite as clean as we have had in previous cottages - it felt like no one had been in it for a while and the tv in the bedroom wasnât connected to the Ariel so didnât work. We also noted there is no extractor in the bathroom and you canât open the window so there was quite a bit of mould around the bath. The cottage just needs a good freshen up.
