Mr Male
Very good for our needs as late middle-aged couple plus dog. May have limitations for other party combinations owing to linked bedrooms, only one bathroom/toilet and steep staircases.

This cottage has lovely views from upstairs but is in need of renovation and repair. Guests need to be aware that the only bathroom is downstairs off the kitchen so anyone staying in the loft must descend two flights of stairs. There is no dishwasher, all the upstairs rooms are accessed via the main bedroom, the curtains and blinds upstairs are inadequate/broken, the stairs are not suitable for anyone remotely unsteady (not just under 2’s as suggested), there is no pavement outside so be aware with pets, young children that you are straight into the road. Would not recommend staying here until some upgrades and improvements have taken place.
