Unfortunately, this stay fell far below our expectations. The location was lovely and our first impressions were positive, but the property has ongoing issues with cleanliness, as mentioned in other reviews.The shower curtain was dirty and unhygienic.There was thick dust behind the bathtub.The blankets in the living room smelled unpleasant and clearly hadn’t been washed.The kitchen had not been thoroughly cleaned.The most serious issue was the poor cleanliness and maintenance of the hot tub. A member of our group contracted hot tub folliculitis, which a medical professional confirmed was caused by incorrect chlorine levels and inadequate cleaning. We stayed for three nights and used the hot tub twice; at no point did anyone come to check or maintain it. By Saturday evening, the water had developed an unusual smell.We have used many hot tubs before and have always had daily checks and high standards of hygiene. This was the first time we’ve ever experienced something like this.We will not be returning and cannot recommend this property.

Lovely cottage, my kids loved the hot tub, and the bug Parc around the corner. the little shop was great for any essentials you forgot and some nice little crafts for the kids. Lovely to be able to borrow books or games . We had a lovely time and have recommended it to some of our friends.

Overall, was a nice stay howver the actual cottage itself could use some work/maintenance as quite a few cosmetic issues and also some interior issues such as the blind in the bedrooms not closing properly which was a pain as let lots of light in to our babies room. Would have been nice to have the twinkle lights around the back garden working, both had no batteries, did try to contact the owner for some but still no response. Also, would have been helpful for basic equipment in the kitchen such as oil for cooking as there are not many local takeaways. The location is nice and quiet but quite remote so stock up on food if youre not planning on going out for dinner.Some channels mainly BBC didnt work which wasnt ideal for our little one wanting cbeebies on. We loved the hot tub and this worked well. Loved the decoration and felt homely just needs some tlc in parts!
