We had a truly fantastic stay at the cottage. It was exceptionally warm and inviting, and the festive decorations—along with a thoughtful box of Celebrations—added a wonderful, cosy Christmas touch that made our trip even more special.

Nice cottage in a beautiful location. Comfortable and clean. Welcome folder out of date and no essentials such as tea, coffee, salt and pepper. The cottage is damp but humidifiers put in to deal with this however there were no instructions on how to empty them which needed doing daily.

This cottage is a disgrace to be classed as lovely holiday let. You had to fight through over grown weeds to open front door.You could smell the damp/mould as soon as you entered cottage. Carpet from kitchen to lounge was loose also from entrance hall! Which is very dangerous if you caught your footing.Bathroom was mould from floor to ceiling and urine stains around toilet floor smell was awful.Could not use garden as rear yard overgrown with weeds.We tried to clean it up a little but still no good. We could only stick it for 4 nights then packed and left. Totally ruined our holiday. This cottage can not have been inspected for year's and photo's are from first ever becoming a holiday let.From Dissatisfied Paul..
