The property generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with several guests finding it clean and comfortable. However, there are instances of guests needing to clean kitchen appliances and encountering dust, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the living areas cosy, contributing to a homely atmosphere. Some guests mention issues with sofa conditions and a need for better mattresses, indicating that while comfort is generally good, there is potential for enhancement.
Facilities like Wi-Fi, parking, and a full kitchen are appreciated, but guests report maintenance issues such as problems with heating, appliances, and worn furniture. The presence of a highchair is a plus, but the lack of a garden for pets is noted.

Location is great for accessing shops, pubs, restaurants, the lake & walks. The window in the front bedroom would not close, I saw comments about this from a few months ago & thought this would have been addressed, the rooms was very cold due to this & the radiator was turned off. Our allocated packing space was occupied so had to use the one for the other cottage. Also noisy on a night when you are trying to sleep. Rooms were clean other than the kitchen (the oven needs a deep clean & the floor), downstairs toilet was thick dust! Comfortable seating & beds. Beautiful main shower room, although I think the radiator needed bleeding as on the bottom half was hot. Most of the blinds only pull up & down, no tool to close for privacy. Would have been nice to have a welcome pack with instructions of how to work the heating etc. Overall we enjoyed our stay and exploring the area again.

Same in the very small bunk room. Bunk bed needs some attention. Handles falling off of cupboards. Guess work required for correct oven settings. Some of the pots and pans etc have seem much better days. The plug in the bathroom sink does not work. Light bulbs needing replaced. All these issues could easily be rectified. Where are the bins for rubbish and recycling? Good location though, but parking is not ideal
