Very good value for the money, and an ideal location for our visit to attractions in the area. The extra “bits and pieces” supplied by the host were a good sign. Cottage not perfect in all respects, but reflected in the price.

A very nice cottage clean and tidy with nice host. But very bad foistey smell due to a evident damp problem. Even though steps had been taken with damp pots and many air freshners which didn't solve the smell. Also bed was hard and took time to get used to. Host mentioned half way through visit they could have provided a topper mattress but had got use to it by then.
