While to cottage was nice and in a great location , it would have been cozier and quieter with carpets at least upstairs ,( I know they allow dogs down stairs)Unfortunately the whole time we were there , there was building work near by with the scaffold van parked on the curb right in front of the front door with bags and equipment piled up close to the door so it made it awkward for getting in and out , the noise from the scaffolding banging meant you couldn’t properly relax , I know this wasn’t the fault of the cottage , but I would have thought the council would have notified owners . As I probably would not have booked it on this occasion .
