Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews frequently commend the cottage for its cleanliness, with numerous guests describing it as very clean and well-maintained. Only one mention of cups needing washing was found, indicating a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is highly praised for being quiet, picturesque, and conveniently close to the town centre and park, with easy access to walking routes. The only drawback mentioned is temporary roadworks affecting access, which is an external factor.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with comfortable beds and a relaxing atmosphere. Some guests felt that space might be tight for four people, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-stocked kitchen and good amenities. Some guests suggested improvements such as a separate oven and microwave, and a few minor maintenance issues like a bathroom door not closing properly. However, these are outweighed by the positive feedback.
While guests appreciate the well-equipped cottage and mention a bottle of wine, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful gestures or gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary.

The accommodation is wonderfully kept with all matching utensils. I would like to make a suggestion that being a grab rail fitted to the wall in the bath/shower for comfort and safety. Perhaps a little more garden maintenance would be more pleasant to the eye. Just booked again!
