Machermore is a lovely cottage in a rural area with great views. There are no local amenities but I'd researched the area and knew that and that's why I only gave it average. I saw a hare running around the field opposite and a roe deer whilst driving back up the lane which was lovely to see. The only thing I can say that needs addressing is the small patches of black mold starting to show in the double bedroom. There is an open fire but no starter pack to use it and no information regarding the use of the fire at all. I would take a fire pack myself especially in the colder weather just to be prepared as a couple of days were quite cold. It wouldn't put me off going again though as it is so peaceful and relaxing which is what I wanted.
