Great location, cottage needs some TLC
First impressions sadly didn’t do this cottage justice. From the road it looks grey and a little shabby (the children thought it looked like a prison) and inside there was peeling paint and unfinished decoration. There is a real lack of storage furniture upstairs and what there is is flimsy. There were only 5 hangers in the entire property (we bought some more and left them for future guests). The curtains barely fit and there was only 1 bedside lamp in the master bedroom; the outside benches were falling apart as was the clothes airer. It felt more like student digs than a holiday cottage, which was disappointing as it was the same price we have paid for much more luxurious cottages in the same area.
Having said that the location was great, the garden was sunny and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic. The bed in the master bedroom was large and comfortable and all the kitchen appliances worked fine. We had a great week and the owner was very kind in answering messages promptly.
Overall it’s a nice cottage that could benefit from some TLC, a lick of paint and some new curtains and furniture upstairs to make it feel more like the kind of luxury holiday cottage you’d expect at that price point.
