Again nothing easily fixed. Property location is good for accessing other places nearby in various directions but immediate location doesn't give access to walking from the property .

This cottage is in a good location. We booked fairly last minute for Easter weekend. It is a mezzanine style, twin room with en suite shower downstairs (very trickly shower so hard to wash a full head of long hair), then on the mezzanine level, two double bedrooms and bathroom with bath. Decor is nice and it is bright. Comfortable beds and sofa. WhRead moreat let the property down was the cleanliness. The glasses and plates were murky and had to be rewashed, the oven gloves had dried food on them. Cobwebs everywhere and dead flies in the bath which we had to clean ourselves before children could have a bath. The freezer is unfortunately held together by wires, and the fridge is missing a shelf, the one shelf that is there doesnt have a front on it, so if you are not careful then things fall out when you open the door. If these things were rectified then it would be great. Hide
