Utterly disappointing and underwhelming. We left after one day it was that bad. We would have left within the hour if we had an alternative option. On the hottest week of the year we were under blankets as the property is constantly in the shade and It feels cold. Good knows what it must be like in the cold weather! The property damp and muskyRead more. There is nowhere to sit and relax. You have to park your car right outside the front door which isnt ideal. The paddock is not secure for dogs nor has it got any shade. The living area is one tiny room and the sofa is literally 2 foot from the door. The internet didnt work and we couldnt get mobile reception. I had to drive a mile or two down the road to get some connection! It doesnt look like its been decorated for 40 years and how this is let out as a holiday property is beyond me. I would most definitely advise against anyone else booking this. Hide

Overall the cottage was compact and rather sweet although it was grubby and in my opinion in need of updating and fresh makeover! Please repair the stairs!
