Cottage 1 - UK46611 in Salisbury offers a peaceful rural getaway with a comfortable bed and charming hosts. The property is clean and situated in a stunning location, ideal for exploring the countryside. However, it is more suited for short stays due to very basic self-catering facilities.
The property is generally described as clean and tidy, with one mention of a foisty smell upon arrival and a surface layer of dust on the mirror. The bedding was noted as lovely.
The location is consistently praised for being perfect for exploring the countryside, peaceful, and beautiful, making it an ideal rural retreat.
The rooms are described as very comfortable, with a great bed mentioned multiple times. However, one review noted an old and soiled mattress with springs coming through, which affects the score.
Facilities are a point of contention, with several reviews highlighting the limited cooking facilities, lack of a sink in the kitchenette, and issues with maintenance such as a broken or non-existent extractor fan.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.

The cottage would be more suitable for a short stay. Facilities for self catering are very minimal. No toaster and kitchen area is very small and no sink .
