Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jul 17, 2021 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness Great that the cottage has the option to take your pet. Unsure whether cleaning is an option somehow (it was automatically added to the booking when I used wotif). I’d recommend the owners not make self cleaning an option, or to check in/reassess the cleaner used. Whilst the property is superficially cleaned, it really needs a thorough clean between guests and “stuff” should be packed away neatly or put into storage (contents in the laundry, rooms, etc). For the nightly price paid, you could stay in a nice motel/hotel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### karlos m.
