I was very much attracted to the property by the pictures on the website. I booked it on the spot and was looking forward to my stay there. On arrival, we spent 15 minutes attempting to get in, before resorting to calling the local contact for assistance. We had the correct keys, but the locks were very stiff to negotiate. I suggest a little maintenance may avoid this in the future. The cottage itself, whilst very pretty and quirky, could do with a thorough clean and a little TLC. I also found that it was far too cluttered with stuff, making moving around akin to negotiating an assault course. The beds are very uncomfortable and creaky, making for a restless night sleep. There was nothing in the property to suggest what to do and where, so we had to research for things to do rather than rely on recommendations from the owner. The thing that I found most concerning, especially as I was staying there with an 11 year old, was the abundance of electrical cables everywhere, all overloaded on extension leads, which looked quite dangerous to me. We were told there is parking, however, at time of booking it was not made explicitly clear that we could only park in the adjacent roads for 2 hours at a time and had to move the car before 0800 so as not to be fined. This was only explained two days before arrival when we received our final instructions for check in. That was particularly inconvenient, as it meant we had to be mindful of the 2 hour parking limit and having to ensure we were around to do that. We were told that we could park at the near NCP, but I think parking charges on top of the rental price was a bit cheeky. I would suggest that the owner arranges parking so that the guests don't have to interrupt their leisure time to avoid being fined. Finally, having paid £50 for an after stay clean, I was quite surprised to be asked to make sure that the property was left in the condition we found it (quite dirty) and being asked to wash up and put things away on departure. I would not stay there again, but overall our experience was average to good.
