We enjoyed our stay at Goslings over the recent bank holiday. The cottage was tidy, well stocked and had a lovely outdoor space, with additional furniture available in the shed. We arrived to a thoughtful bara brith cake, and there were plenty of games and useful information about the local area provided. The village pub was pleasant enough, and there is also a small play park within walking distance.A couple of minor points based on personal preference, the kitchen cupboards were quite full, so there wasn’t much space for storing groceries, and a small gate at the side of the house would help make the garden fully secure.There were also a few maintenance and cleanliness issues that could be improved. We found an empty pill packet under a chair on arrival, which fortunately my toddler didn’t find first, but it did make us question how thoroughly the cottage had been cleaned. The patio doors were quite stiff to open, and the bedroom doors didn’t latch properly. Storage was limited in one of the double bedrooms. Outside, my toddler also found a rusty nail in the garden, which could have been dangerous.Overall, we had a nice stay and the cottage has a lot of positives, but a little more attention to cleaning and maintenance would make a big difference.
