The comfort of the cottage is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the beds and seating very comfortable and the presence of underfloor heating adding to the cosy atmosphere.

This stinks and is a health hazard! Also TV only has apps so you can obly watch live bbc channels. I left messages for the owner on both contact numbers as wanted to know if this was correct or the aerial lead was faulty and absolutely no response. Also a rotten dog bone (large) in a bag in the garage with maggots made this room not accessible. The cleaner needs sacking as every surface was thick with dust! Rug in living room is shedding fibres and looks like has never been hoovered. Cobwebs in all corners of every room. Buy a feather duster with all of that money you make on lettings!!!

A nice big kitchen table, and nice comfortable lounge with large tv. The upstairs shower door, sealant, and controller need maintenance (only ranges between pretty hot to very hot). The downstairs shower was very nice but needs fresh sealant too. The kitchen was nice to cook in with good sized fridge freezer. The aga was nice to use but the two ring hob was lacking in power and we couldn't get the outer ring on at all.
