Overal good. Feels like a home.BIG MINUS: wastewater in shower does not drain away quick enough. After half a minute you have to turn the tap off and wait for the water to drain away. Very uncomfortable!!!

Lovely cottage in general and good value for money, not great for families of young kids with the garden going off one of the bedrooms at the back A few things are a little tired and could do with some TLC I think this cottage could go from a 6/10 to a 9/10 with a weeks work and £1000 bringing it back to life Note - very clean and no isues with cleaning like some other reviews mention
