Great cottage in a lovely area to explore. Only comments about the house relate to the kitchen which could do with more cooking equipment and crockery. There are no microwaveable cooking bowls/casserole, and not enough teaspoons. For such a generous kitchen with all the appliances you could possibly need, there are insufficient cooking utensils (no wooden spoons, and no frying slice) for use with pans. Also would be useful to have a cheese grater and a measuring jug. There really is insufficient crockery for everyone to have (for example) soup, and then a dessert - so you have to wash up before dessert. Hardly enough crockery to make the dishwasher viable. The rest of the house was lovely. Just to note, there was no info about rubbish/recycling/bin day etc. so we took all our recycling home with us.

Unfortunately although the cottage was nicely decorated, the cleanliness was poor.When we arrived, we found melted cheese still under the grill and the oven had bits of old food, the air fryer had tin foil in it and operation markings missing and the kettle has rust on it, toaster not been cleaned out. Just as well we were eating out.Shower room tail ring also rusty, and toilet seat loose.As previous occupants have said the mattresses are very uncomfortable.As we were packing up to leave my partner found crisp packets under the bed in the second bedroom (were they left there on purpose by previous occupants?)It's a shame because it's a lovely cottage on first impressions as you walk in.
