    There was only one mirror in the bathroom. I had to use the microwave as a mirror when I dried my hair, not ideal. Also, there was only one coat hanger available, so we bought a couple more.

    The location was perfect. Very comfortable bed and good use was made of the space available. We coped very well with the paddle stairs, despite my initial concerns.

    Stairs- very steep, half steps, no full hand rail on one sides, potentially dangerous especially down. Only suitable for nimble, slim guests 1 wineglass and tumbler-2 of each would be good. List of kitchen goods- mention coffee cafetieres, no oven etc

    Central location.quiet residential area.cute property-impressed how they managed to fit things in Supply of tea, coffee, milk, towels- good feature

    My only thought was.. replace the basin in the bathroom with a much smaller one- it may help for ease of movement a bit better :)

    Really great property! Not all singing all dancing but absolutely perfect for a couple nights away! All facilities provided and lovely quirky cottage.

    Great stay for a wedding at Great Tythe Barn

    A bit grubby on the floor in places and while the stairs didn't bother us, it certainly makes it a bit tricky if you need the loo in the night, so you should be aware of it.

    Had everything we needed and the hosts were extremely helpful before and during our stay. Super close to the Great Tythe Barn where we were at a wedding, so very convenient.

    The stairs to the bedroom were very steep but as I wasn’t drinking during the weekend, I had no issues with it. I was fine with it but the road from the property up to the main area of town was very steep and would be difficult for older people not so steady on their feet.

    A really lovely compact apartment with everything you need. Contact with the owners was very positive, guidance on the use of the place was very thorough. Bed was very comfortable. Heating was good( just used it a little to take the edge off the cool morning. I used the heating element provided to do some simple cooking.

    The skirting boards in the bathroom were loose, could do with a bit of loving. But overall we loved the place and would definitely return.

    Lovely little property, full of character. Great location, in center of town but tucked away and quiet. Comfy bed.

    Cottage was even smaller than we thought it was going to be. OK for one night but too cramped for any longer. The stairs would be totally unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues as they were almost vertical. Small things missing, just one coat hanger, no mirror in the bedroom and all local attraction leaflets were very out of date.

    Quiet. Clean.

    I know the description points some of this out but it is ridiculously small, it’s very difficult for a 6’ male to live around at all upstairs with banging your head on something.

    We knew the property was small, but it was much smaller than anticipated, you couldn’t get in one side of the bed. The shower was very small. There was mould on the walls and skirting board was loose in the bathroom. The drive was vertically non existent and covered in weeds.

    Location was good.

    The facilities were very minimal and the shower was tiny and not much more than a drip.

    The location was great for access to the Great Tythe Barn and there was loads of parking by the property.

    Disappointed by absence of basic facilities and all very cramped

    Lots! 1. Parking space big enough only for Smart car or equivalent. 2. Nowhere to hang coats (why not a couple of hooks on the wall behind the front door?) 3. No coffee table to put coffee or a glass of wine on when sitting on sofa. 4. No TV (we only realised this too late); not even a radio. 5. Nowhere to put toiletries in bathroom (how about a shelf beside the basin). 6. No toilet roll holder!! 7. Nowhere to put shampoo/soap inside the shower cubicle. 8. Nowhere to put clothes in bedroom: no chest of drawers (though plenty of room for one) and only one dry-cleaner-style wire hanger (how much do plastic hangers cost?). 9. Only one bedside lamp (though two bedside units). 10. Sponge/scourer in kitchen was at least 3 months old and no spare. 11. Long-term stains on curtain, downstairs roller blind and both rugs (upstairs and downstairs). 12. Left handrail on stairs virtually useless (kept jamming fingers in it) and right handrail stopped halfway. 13. Someone else was putting rubbish in 'our' bins (including paper and cardboard in the black bin!) 14. Arrived to find puddle on bathroom floor; worked out where leak was coming from and put bowl under it; reported it and owner couldn't be bothered to fix it before we left (4 days later!). 15. Oh, and no toaster either.

    Property was clean (but see below). Location good.

    Very cold, exposed brick and uncarpeted floor was quite tricky to hop around. Heaters were ok, but definitely needed to be on all day. It needs a bit of love, I understand paid for what we got, but I think simple things can be done to make it a tad more comfortable. It also smelt of dog / cigarettes when we arrived which was a shame for first impression. We actually didn't stay our second night in the end, just a bit too chilly for me.

    Location was great, lucky we have a small car to fit on the cosy drive. Instructions were great prior arrival and we were able to check in a bit earlier.
