    The outdoor furniture and BBQ needed a clean, getting the shower temperature right was a bit of a challenge, but ended up being a good shower. The brickwork surrounding the outdoor furniture needed some attention. None of these issues spoiled our stay.

    We stayed for three days and loved every minute of it. the cottage is full of character, very comfortable with thoughtful touches everywhere, including wine and chocolates on arrival, we would love to stay there again.

    Search for a house for 5/6, getting a quote, accepting quote and booking and then discovering that I had to pay extra for numbers above 2. Extra costs being $$s per person per night

    Quaint cottage, well maintained. Comfortable and close to the golf course

    We were happy with everything. Some would expect a dishwasher or an ensuite but it is a quaint old cottage from a different era and we loved it. It has everything you need for a comfortable relaxed holiday.

    We loved staying in a historic style cottage. It was the whole home, clean, warm & well equipped. Position was great too. The goodies basket was a lovely touch.

    the step down to the back room where the toilet and bathroom is needs and extra step added, it’s too high. my older parents struggled with it. they can handle normal height steps but this on is just too high. window in the right front bedroom did not close at the top, this needs to be fixed. it was open when we arrived and we could not push it up to close it.

    thanks he cottage is very cute.

    Maybe a night light to get to the bathroom at night-time would be helpful?

    We loved this little cottage. So lovely to see it in mostly original condition but so comfortable! We were warm, had everything that we needed and couldn't have asked for anymore. The location was close to the street yet quiet. Debbie was a great host, and we will definitely be staying there again. Thank you!

    The bath was not clean. There were some steps that were potentially dangerous in the rear of the cottage. A window in the kitchen was not able to be closed due to damage.

    Beds very comfortable. Gentle comfortable feeling about the cottage. Well appointed kitchen and dining area.
