Instructions on how to turn the hot water up would have been useful as bath was luke-warm and so too showers until we found out how to turn water temperature up

Lovely comfy beds, plenty of room & the open plan living area was just great. We hope to return for a winter break.

Any criticism here is intended to assist the owner, who we never met, but don't let it put you off staying, as we had an enjoyable stay. There is one larger bedroom with an ensuite shower room and another with three single beds, two very close together, with a bathroom, which I assumed was meant for children. We asked for single beds and we were allocated the children's room. Upstairs is a lovely large kitchen / living room, which was very comfortable. There were sufficient plates, cups, etc. a welcome pack of cookies, a cake, and milk in the fridge, and a voucher for the local farm shop. The grounds had plenty of places to sit and relax. It is shared with other residents who, in our case, were out all day so we had the sunny garden to ourselves, although a pump was going all day long in an adjacent field on one day and on another there was loud music from somewhere and that did spoil the peace and quiet that we had hoped to find before we went off on the next leg of our trip. Mind you, as the holiday properties are on a farm I suppose we should have expected noise. As for the accommodation it was very comfortable, mostly clean, although the windows and oven could have done with some attention. There is a laundry room, which needed a good clean, for example the tumble dryer filter was full of fluff (which I cleaned out) and the sink and room in general was grubby. As a previous review said, there was no hair dryer, so I took my own, and plugged it in fhe hall. An iron and ironing board in the cottage would have been more convenient too. Overall this is very comfortable accommodation, great for a family, and the other cottages had families in them who enjoyed using the BBQ and outside space. We would return to the cottages the next time we drive through that area, although we would probably stay in one of the single storey cottages as I have some mobility issues and found the stairs to the living room difficult to walk up, but that was my fault in not reading the description fully before booking.
