We were here for a week. On arrival, we found the shower disconnected and a note saying a part had been ordered. Nothing was done to fix the shower for the entire week!!! This is unacceptable, and poor service. Definitely find somewhere else, unless you like risk taking - who knows what else will have broken and been left unrepaired? The wood burner has already gone. Maybe the cooker, or the fridge, or the water heating.I also echo another user's comments about the pitted/ corroded knives. Find a better place.

Beautiful quiet location with a lovely outlook. One of the most well furnished and best equipped cottages we have stayed in. Exceptional value at the discounted rate we received but equally good value at the full rate.Thanks for a lovely getaway holiday to recharge our batteries.

Shower head over bath didn't adjust so had to run baths.Cutlery in kitchen was a random assortment and generally I didn't feel that the kitchen was as clean as it should be (doors, cutlery tray etc) The location was handy for driving to car parks to walk but the road itself was quite busy with cars travelling fast on the blind corners. There wasn't a clear nearby bus stop. Lovely views from property and big rooms. We did walk up through the property's wood at the start of a walk.
