Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia G. Jul 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice cozy cottage The front door was a bit fiddly, there was a musty old house smell when you enter but aside from that it was a lovely, clean, and cozy cottage. Good for the family. I like that there were books, games and DVDs for entertainment but the Smart TV allows for logging in to Netflix as well. There’s wifi available. There was no dishwasher but the kitchen was otherwise complete with all you need for feeding the family. Overall it was a great property in a quiet area so near to the town centre. ##### Patricia G.
