I would give it 5 stars. But the front door failed to lock the day before we were due to leave.( its just one of those thinks . The heat.) Other than that we had a great week.

Overall the cottage was nice. As previous people have mentioned it needs updating but as they are selling I understand why it hasn't been done. Not dirty but not overly clean, odd dirty cutlery and glass, cobwebs, dead flies and moths in the bedroom and conservatory, bit dusty and odd ball of dust flosting around upstairs. I wouldn't say it was bad but it was below average. The cottages are on a very narrow road, thankfully no through traffic. Perfect location for conway town and Tesco superstore. You definitely need a car.It would be a bit of a squeeze for 4 adults in the kitchen and kitchen table. Perfect for a couple of 2 friends wanting separate rooms.
