The location is described as quiet and not far from Ashford, with a local pub and attractions within reach. However, one review mentions the need for transportation, implying that it may be somewhat remote.
Guests found their stay comfortable, with the property providing a relaxing atmosphere. However, there are suggestions for replacing mattresses and a desire for more updates to enhance comfort further.
While the property is appreciated for its neatness and space, guests have noted the absence of some basic amenities like a dishwasher and sharp knives. The courtyard garden also requires some tidying up. These points suggest that the facilities and maintenance could be improved.

The Cottage is tired and needs updating. The mattresses should be replaced. An area worth exploring only if one has transportation as it is back of beyond.
