The location of Walters cottage is fabulous. I got a great deal by booking in January. The kitchen, sitting room and the second bedroom were clean and comfortable. However, there was mould on the wall in the principal bedroom ( as a lone guest I did not need to use so it did not affect my stay) and the bathroom was so dated it was difficult to keep to a decent level of cleanliness.Also, as other reviews have noted, the check-in was delayed and hour while the owner finished cleaning . All of that said, it suited my dog and I and we enjoyed our stay - so we would recommend to others who can live with 'quirks' of staying at Walters cottage!
