I had to clean the fridge before I could put food in it, a used towel was left on the bathroom radiator, the bath mat had some dubious stains on it and we weren't sure if the double bed had clean linen (the duvet was so crumpled, it looked like someone had slept under it). The small bedroom should have been a single room - having two narrow beds in there made it very uncomfortable and difficult to sleep. Previous occupants had put cooking trays and dishes away dirty, although in all fairness, the dishwasher didn't dissolve the tablet when we used it so we had to rewash some dishes. The front door needs some attention - it was difficult to open from the outside and we often had to resort to putting a shoulder against the door. We drove past the cottage because the name was obscured by plants. It was not clear where we should park, before we had read the instructions inside the cottage, and we didn't know if we could use the garden which was a shame as it was lovely weather. We understood that a welcome pack wasn't guaranteed but having a written message on the chalkboard about items that had been "left", such as milk and bread, but weren't actually there made us feel like the owners had really made no effort for us at all.

The cottage was clean and has everything you need for your stay . My dog was fascinated with the chickens roaming around , he'd spend all day just watching them through the patio doors. If I was looking for a place to stay in this area I would definitely book again .
