    The instructions didn't give you a heads up that you need to go through a gate to access the property shared by other dwellings. So we were a bit hesitant initially to go through the gate. But eventually made the conclusion we were in the right place going by the photo. Which was also a bit tricky because we could only see the back of the cottage from the gate.

    Quaint original cottage that has been tastefully refurbished Very clean Cosy with lots of heating and electric blankets Good size new bathroom and shower Lockbox is always a bonus so you can make your own way in, in our own time...no stress

    The photo's show a kitchenette with stove and sink. We brought food to cook but we're very disappointed to find no where to cook or heat anything, just a toaster and jug. With no local food places open we found the local pub who we're happy to reopen their kitchen for us. Although disappointing it doesn't take away the pleasure of staying here.

    This cottage was lovely and everything was quaint and authentic, it was a treat staying here thank you. Very clean and comfortable it is great value for money.

    The heater was only just coping with the super cold night , Unfortunately, the weather didn't allow us to explore the beautiful property (bad timing for us)

    The cottage was away from noise just out of town , quite comfortable and fairly roomy. Beautiful bathroom. Our thoughtful host, Gordon ,welcomed us on arrival and had set the heater going for our last minute arrival in the chilly early evening. The bed was very comfortable . Continental breakfast was included and suited our needs.

    Lack of microwave and hotplates. I was travelling by bike and going out for a meal out of question. Didn’t know in advance of arriving. Of course you could also argue the need for a sink but washing up in bathroom ok for me.

    Quiet location. Well heated for cold overnight conditions. Very comfortable.

    Loved everything. It was a little way out of the town but in a beautiful setting.

    A wee gem of a place. Beautiful cottage , comfortable and clean with a separate kitchen which was well equipped. Nice veranda to sit on and enjoy the spectacular view. Very kind and hospitable host.

    As reported previously by others there is only a small fridge and no dining table in the cottage. The main kitchen is in another building which could do with a tidyup. The website also needs to be updated as there is no oven or washing machine

    Lovely rural setting but still close to town. Delightful cottage which has been nicely renovated. Nice lounge bedroom and porch to enjoy the surroundings. New bathroom with great hot water and good pressure. Comfortable bed

    The lack of privacy was a huge concern. The main house stares directly at the very cute cosey lovely cottage There were coffee plungers but only instant coffee.

    The garden and very quaint , clean , quiet. Bedding very comfy and cosey. Facilities were great and interior design beautiful.
