We have stayed at Collingwood twice. It is a comfortable house and we like it, but a couple of tweaks would make it even better!Only one towel is provided per guest. It would be nice to have a hand towel each and hand washing soap in each bathroom.The house needs a bit of attention, we couldn't open the front door, lots of squeaky hinges and some bedroom doors difficult to close. The house manual needs updating re how to deal with rubbish/recycling and how to adjust the heating.

Really enjoyed our stay in Marloes. The cottage was lovely, but is need of some TLC inside and out. Ten o'clock is an early check out and three cleaners stood around their car immediately opposite at 9.50am waiting to come in put a presured, sour end to the stay. Hence 3 stars not 4.
