Baked treats and wine were a nice touch! Upside down living wasn't an issue, except if you wanted to lie in/nap in the afternoon whilst the rest of your party were in the lounge/kitchen, as the wooden floors are noisy. Bathroom door could also do with some WD40 so as not to wake the whole household up when visiting the bathroom in the middle of the night. An extra toilet roll in each toilet would not have gone amiss either (particularly as the one toilet had less than a 10th of a roll when we got there, which could have been awkward had the rest of our party not arrived the next day enabling us to stock up on Day 2). Bring soap/shower gel. Directions to the property definitely need to be clearer too, particularly as the narrow lane which one had to drive up had a sign saying 'Road closed ahead' which meant we drove around for 15 minutes trying to find the cottage, which was a little frustrating. Otherwise we had a lovely stay.

The main issue was the overwhelming smell of damp in the main bedroom. The bedding felt wet and there was a nightly infestation of woodlice which was totally unpleasant. The toilet was filthy as were the tiles in the shower area which were partly mouldy and definitely in need of a good scrub. The description is not accurate. There is no pub within walking distance and no chance of getting a taxi either. The freezer was actually an ice box. The upstairs toilet was also not working properly. The radiator leaked in the downstairs bathroom and the skirting was hanging off in the bathroom. The owner was made aware of these issues but failed to help with them in any way and has ignored our message to her. We lost a days holiday which is valuable to us but we are obviously of no importance to her now she has our well earned cash. She actually lived next door but it must have been too much effort to come across the yard and look at our these issues. Very disappointed
