The shared garden is great. It's massive and our kids really enjoyed it there. The owner has gone above and beyond with little details about the local area, she has created leaflets wuth useful informationand is easy to contactif you have any issues. If you are chatty then you will enjoy it here as the owner comes to the property a couple of times a day, to weed in the garden and check the bins and compost. The house itself is a great size however could use some updates. The bathrooms have a strong smell of damp, and the drains are a little backed up. The water pressure on the electric showers are poor. The mattresses could do with updating as they're not the most comfortable. Also there is a shared utility with an average sized washing machine for 4 cottages. As we had 5 mucky children, it meant we did quite a bit of washing. Potentially an industrial washer or more than one would be useful. Do to the weather there were a lot of flys. Not sure ifvthe compost bins added to this. We had a lovely time, but with some tweaks thus house could be amazing.

The owner, Sarah, was very helpful and seems to enjoy having people to stay - she kindly brought chocolates round when one of our party had a birthday - a special touch. We had 7 young children with us and the large garden was wonderful for them, and well used both in the mornings and when we got back from our day trips. I know it's probably inevitable in a dog friendly property, but the only downside was that the lounge had a doggy smell about it. But on the whole, we would be happy to return again. Thank you, Sarah!

We spent the first hour of our stay vacuuming cobwebs off the lounge ceiling and walls, washing dirty oven trays so we could cook our tea, and cleaning the dirt and bird droppings off the outdoor furniture so we could sit on it. The utility room seems to of become a dumping ground with all sorts of stuff piled high. The 'mini mews' shed could be a great little den for the kids, but currently is just cluttered with old toys, many of which are broken. With a little effort the Mews could be really lovely, but currently is in need of a deep clean and a declutter.
