A comfortable clean house. Warm and nicely decorated. Such an easy walk to local shops. A fairly quiet street and great star gazing in the garden. Booked again already!

The cushions for the garden furniture was locked in a garden box but no key was available. The script suggests having dinner âal frescoâ however the furniture was not suitable for a meal, being so low, coffee table. There were 5 black bin liners full of rubbish, empty bottles & cardboard box from previous visitors outside back door. There were no manuals for any of the machines/equipment - the coffee machine didnât work. Only one toilet roll was left at the property. Reviews in the Visitor Book mentioned a Welcome Pack but there was nothing for us. Parking was difficult - we only managed to park once outside Daisy Cottageâ¦..overall we were disappointed.

I've been a bit harsh on cleanliness perhaps, I think we suffered a quite specific and rather unfortunate issue related to the previous tenants... Generally the house was clean.
