Beautiful property and location. Unfortunately everything in the home is tired looking and dated. Not very clean at all. The sofas both smell of dog and ***. A very bad smell in the kitchen near the fridge, like something had died and on the last night a strange smell like bad cheese when going up the stairs. Shower doesn’t work. However, there is a jug on the bath to rinse off. Kind to supply a pint of milk, but the seal was off, so we didn’t use it. No other items of a welcome pack, as suggested. Did not see any warning the gardeners were coming on Thursday. Luckily we managed to get the dogs in. The garden is not fully enclosed. Garden furniture is very old and fragile. Don’t think anything is getting replaced at this point

Here’s a polished review you could post:We had a lovely stay at this cottage and found it to be a wonderful place to relax. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, with stunning views all around. The cottage was clean and full of character. There were a few dusty areas here and there, but nothing that affected our stay – if anything, it added to the charm and authentic old-world feel of the property.The sheep were fantastic to see, and we especially loved watching the lambs with their mums around the farm. It really added to the experience. There isn’t a fenced-off area where dogs can run completely free, which may be something for some guests to consider. Fortunately, our dogs are well-trained and were happy exploring while being supervised.The only issue we encountered was the driveway. We have a Ford Grand C-Max, and it scraped underneath in a couple of places due to some of the larger bumps. We found a route partly on the grass which helped avoid this, but it’s worth noting that vehicles lower than ours may need to take extra care.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would like to thank the hosts for having us. We had a great time and would happily visit again.

A lovely cottage in beautiful countryside; a perfect escape from the busy world. Not for those looking for a '5 star experience' but comfortable and homely. Shower could be better.
