However, the heating could be on for a longer duration, and the bathroom extractor fan is not functioning. Additionally, the microwave requires a thorough cleaning or possibly replacement, and the kitchen tap needs to be either fixed or replaced.

The cottage was a good size, and comfortable. A sloping bedroom floor and sloping upstairs ceilings were quirky but, along with the wooden beams, it gave the place character. Location wise, we travelled out a lot and about an hour in either direction there was plenty to do and see. Overall, an enjoyable place to stay.

The advertising was misleading however, dogs cannot be let off in the garden which is shared. Some upgrading / repairs needed eg taps taped and leaking, outside woodwork needs repair and painting.
