    Area at the back needs attention. Some flowers/shrubs in the walled area would help a lot. Green carpet/artificial grass lying on ground, not a good look. Wardrobe door not attached. Broken tile in bottom of shower. Dishcloth beside kitchen sink appeared grubby, not a good look. Bed was very comfortable!! Attention to these fine details would help a lot . Property has a great location for the outdoors: hiking, cycling etc. It has considerable potential but interior decor needs a spruce up; for example the clock wasn’t working!

    V quiet location.

    Nice for an overnight stop off but make sure you have food with you to cook as the village facilities are very basic.

    It’s a nice house in a great location but it’s in need of a little tlc now and maybe a declutter outside.

    Stayed here one night on a motorcycle trip. It was the one day it rained so it was handy to have a whole house with room to dry off and organise our wet gear. There was safe out of sight parking for the bikes and if the weather had been better no doubt it was a nice place to sit outside. There’s a friendly pub in the village but be aware it does not serve food and the little shop has very little other than the basics. Never saw the owner though we spoke on the phone to locate the key and she sounded lovely and let us have access to the place early which was a relief due to the bad weather.

    The shower in the bathroom had very low pressure and it was straight on the floor without anything around it so the bathroom floor would be full of water after a shower. The phone data was not working inside the cottage and since there was no wifi, we didn't have any internet connection in the cottage. Nothing too bad though.

    The bed was super comfortable, the location was great, and our host was lovely! The whole place was very cute! Ideal if you are looking for something quiet!

    The description of facilities states that it includes towels and toilet paper, but not. There were 3 towels on the bed for the whole week. Marie said it is not a hotel it is a self catering house and that I should just wash the towels etc. NO service at all. There aren't really any pans for cooking either and it is a self catering house. When you take a shower the whole bathroom is wet. I found that Marie was very ruth to me on the phone.

    The house was okay, the beds are good. Location is good.

    It would probably benefit from a few channels on the TV or maybe a few dvds. When the weather is not good there is little to do. Other than that we had a great stay.

    The house was lovely. Very clean and cosy and best of all we could take are dog with us.

    The cooking utensils could have been a bit better. We stayed as a couple but with maximum occupancy the pots and pans might have been a bit small. Some more shelving in the bathroom would be handy

    Beautiful, peaceful, quiet location. The building has been recently restored and the owners have obviously taken a lot of care and effort in their choices. Bed in the main bedroom is wonderfully comfortable

    Straight away smelled of damp on opening door. Didn’t want to stay. No wifi. Bed not comfortable. Looks and feels abandoned

    Nothing - I didn’t say- I drove 3 hrs home instead after ringing for an extra 30 mins to get to the property

    Pictures of the property must have been old ones as the property definitely wasn't anything like the pics..... rubbish all over garden, garden furniture held together with duck tape and garden completely overgrown, inside the property mould, cobwebs, other guests food & half drunk water, wardrobe broke and headboard, no blinds/curtains for privacy in kitchen/living area either.

    Nothing much
