Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage clean and cosy, but there were notable exceptions where guests reported issues with cleanliness, such as dirty floors and untidy kitchenware. These instances seem to be outliers rather than the norm.
The cottage's location is highly praised for its beautiful scenery, peacefulness, and proximity to local towns and attractions. It is situated on a working farm, adding to the charm and interest for guests.
Guests frequently compliment the comfortable beds and sofas, as well as the cosy and homely feel of the cottage. However, some guests mentioned that certain furniture items could be updated for enhanced comfort.
The cottage is generally well-equipped with necessary amenities and guests appreciated the full kitchen and showers. Criticisms include some maintenance issues such as broken blinds and door handles, and suggestions for additional items like a bread bin and hoover.
The hosts are frequently commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly regarding the welcome pack provided to guests. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
