Nov 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Weekend away Stayed here for a weekend with our doggy, daughter had just moved close by and was visiting. Could do with a bit of updating, I wouldn’t recommend 5 people staying here as it was cramped for us and there was just 2 of us. The second bedroom pics showed 2 single beds but it was a single bed in there with an under bed. Shower a bit basic,thought the property was a bit overpriced really but considering it’s in the South maybe not. Central heating was good and a good supply of hot water no restrictions. Very busy road found it difficult to park at times. Good chippy at the end of the road.Weather was good, plenty to do ##### Carol A. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jean G. Oct 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning Cottage Good location, nice of host to provide tea, coffee etc. Stunning cottage decorated to high standard. Helpful if parking is highlighted (I did ring to find out). Only 4 people stayed (two adults and two children), there is also a sofa bed for 5th person. Open bedroom window at night could be problem for light sleepers as road is busy. In second bedroom, second bed is pullout and had to be placed closely together with other bed and door could not be closed. Think room could be arranged better with the beds. No problem if only one person in room. ##### Jean G. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Caer M.
