Guests consistently describe the property as very clean, which indicates high standards of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The location is highly praised for its beauty, seclusion, and rural charm, with easy access to local walks and attractions. However, some guests noted overgrown hedges and difficulty finding the property.
The comfort of the property is well-regarded, with mentions of a super comfy bed and a cosy atmosphere. The only discomfort noted was related to the upside-down layout, which may not suit those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally good, including a large shower and smart TV. However, a guest suggested the addition of a microwave and noted impractical light fittings over the wash basin.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The property was very nice and clean and very quiet, the surrounding countryside was beautiful. I was surprised to find that it was an upside down house, which would have been nice but for mobility reasons, having to walk up and down the stairs so much. I feel a microwave oven would have been more useful for the type of cooking we would do on holiday, and I was worried about the light fittings over the wash basin, as I kept catching my head on it. I thought it looked very nice, but in my case, impractical.
