The property is in a great location and had most things we needed for a week away.. However, on arrival to the cottage on the Saturday, it was cold inside as the heating had not been turned on until that morning. With there being a caretaker, it would’ve been nice for them to have gone in the night before to ensure both the heating and the hot water were switched on. We luckily found where to turn the hot water on ourselves throughout our stay but this shouldn’t have been our responsibility. There was also a note on the side to say the shower was out of order when we first arrived and needed a part. At this point, we were unsure when the note meant it was going to be fixed. Later, the caretaker came over to tell us it should be sorted the next day (being Sunday) and that we could have a bath instead. This would’ve been fine, if there was actually enough hot water to fill the bath! The shower didn’t eventually get fixed until the Tuesday. Throughout our stay, we came across other minor things such as one of the upstairs bedroom blinds not working (so we had to put a magazine up the window to stop the light coming in) and the fridge door came off in our hands when opening it. The chairs aren’t particularly comfortable and the fire doesn’t give out an awful lot of heat.
It is a cute and quaint little cottage that could be so much better with a little TLC.
