Guests have praised its cleanliness, comfort, and the thoughtful touches provided by the owners. While some minor issues with facilities and maintenance were mentioned, the overall experience has been highly regarded, with many expressing a desire to return.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented, with only a single complaint regarding an issue with bats, which seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is consistently praised for its amazing views, tranquillity, and proximity to nature, making it an ideal spot for a quiet holiday.
Guests have found the beds comfy and the cottage warm, although there were comments about it being cold at night during the colder months.
While the property is generally well-equipped, some guests noted issues with water quality and the temperature inside the cottage. The shared laundry facilities and their associated costs were also points of contention.
Several reviews mention the owners' thoughtfulness, including welcome touches like biscuits and gluten-free shortbread. However, as these gifts are subject to change and not guaranteed, they should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Mattresses are old and need replacing, too soft/roll to the middle. No cleaning products provided, only one small tea towel, no salt or pepper in the condiments. An eclectic mix of pots and pans. An air fryer would be a great addition. Quite noisy downstairs due to no underlay for carpet upstairs. The fridge is badly stained and needs to be replaced, also very small for 4 adults.

We found plenty to do in the area, including fishing, walking and eating out. We would have no hesitation in recommending the area and the cottage.

The property was spotless, the interior design was simple and elegant, the living areas were spacious, and the view was just... wow! The owners were very nice too! :) The bedding could have been a bit more comfortable, as we sometimes felt the springs in the mattress. Nothing too serious though. Blackout curtains would also definitely be a plus. The washing machine and dryer were outside the house and it was not very practical, as we had no laundry basket (though I must admit we did not ask for one). I was also not aware (or maybe I forgot) that it was not free. However, I did appreciate the eco-friendliness of only having one washer and dryer for all the dwellings. I was aware of the fact that dogs were welcome, I unfortunately did not account for the fact that there are often carpeted floors in the UK, so my dad had a small allergic reaction due to that. The property is also a bit far from many places where we wanted to go, but in a way, it is also what makes it charming. You cannot park just outside the dwelling, which can be an advantage just as much as it can be an inconvenience, especially late at night, as there are no lights (not practical if you need to see where you're walking, but much welcome when you don't want to be woken up by lights in the middle of the night) All those "inconvenients" only represented like 1% of our experience, and we still appreciated the property very very much. We will definitely come again if we're ever in the area again, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone!
