    “We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage and I think some reviews about the cleanliness are unfair.”

    The cottage was kitted with laundry pods and air drier, washing up liquid and other cleaning products, allowing us to tidy and clean as we went. The kitchen was lovely, we liked having the option of cooking for ourselves and there were more than enough plates, glasses, cutlery etc. The sofa and bed were comfortable and the place was very cosy - which was lovely because we stayed during a very cold week in February!

    The cottage was kitted with laundry pods and air drier, washing up liquid and other cleaning products, allowing us to tidy and clean as we went. The kitchen was lovely, we liked having the option of cooking for ourselves and there were more than enough plates, glasses, cutlery etc. The sofa and bed were comfortable and the place was very cosy - which was lovely because we stayed during a very cold week in February! The property is close to local villages and towns. The driveway could use some lights at the entrance in my opinion. When we arrived a bottle of wine was in the fridge (neither of us drink but it was a nice gesture), some local teas and coffees were laid out and they were of high quality, and some biscuits and breakfast items were available in a welcome basket. Some guidance on the property was printed and leaflets for local attractions was available. The WiFi wasn't massively reliable and was slow for watching tv in the evenings. We luckily had the option of downloading shows and watching them offline but worth being aware of this. The property was mostly clean, we noticed a couple of mug rings on surfaces in different locations, and some cereal on the floor in the bedroom which had obviously been dropped by previous guests. Overall the place was clean, just more attention to detail seems needed. The majority of the cottage was very clean and we didn't feel upset by the level of cleanliness and we didn't feel it was anything to bother the hosts about. Although I did notice stains on the bedsheets which looked spilled coffee marks, and if it was me, I'd replace them. However, the cottage was beautifully decorated and we found the shower had good pressure - which was very soothing after a cold day of hiking! We didn't use the bath but it is nice that the option is there. A towel and hand towel are provided for each person, they were decent quality. Bring your own shower gels and shampoos. Extra bedding was in a cupboard and a good quality hairdryer was in a drawer. I did notice the surface around the sink is lifting, so may be worth looking at that to prevent any water damage. The views were beautiful from the angled window upstairs and the garden had frequent visits from deer which we watched over breakfast from the french/patio doors! I would recommend this property as a comfortable holiday let for able bodied people. I would also stay again. It was a beautiful property to stay in and we very much enjoyed it. Thank you for a lovely stay.
