Ruth London | Couple A charming, up to date cottage, with everything you need and at a stone's throw from amenities and great hikes - ideal for a couple. The gas wood fire in the living area made it really cosy on cold December evenings after long hikes and the kitchen was well-equipped for self-catering (there are lots of restaurants in walking distance but we were trying not to eat out because of Covid). The only tiny thing that wasn't perfect was the water pressure in the shower, but still it was a nice hot shower in a separate cubicle. Great to have a parking permit for the week too. We would most certainly stay again, thank you.

Bruce Bath | The cottage is situated in a small side street which we had to drive past twice to even spot, nonetheless the location is very central and is close to all amenities, including a very good Thai restaurant 100 metres away. The cottage is cosy, well thought out and well equipped - in fact too well equipped as we had to empty some of the kitchen cupboards for food storage. There seemed to be many pots and pans for all sorts of things and yet not a wok, which seemed strange. In terms of the bathroom, this is where the two major complaints with the cottage are - firstly, the shower is appalling, with hardly any water pressure. This was not in the cottage description and we only found this out in the cottage welcome pack. Surely a separate water pump for the shower can be fitted. ? Secondly, the bathroom is fitted with a bluetooth mirror to enable you to play music, which was fine, however all the way through out stay the associated light around the edge kept turning itself on, without explanation. Not so bad in the day but this happened 2-3 times every night and filled the upstairs with a bright light, bright enough to wake us up. even shutting the bathroom door didnt really fix the problem as the bathroom door has an old style latch which makes closing the door fully, problematic. I couldn't figure out why the lamp kept turning itself on, but it was very annoying and if I could have taken out the power fuse I would have done. I recommend the owners look into this. Lastly, there seems to be a problem with rubbish collection at the cottage. When we arrived we read the cottage guide pack which tells you to put everything ( rubbish and recycling) into the red top bin outside the cottage. When we arrived the bin was already half full with what looked like recycling based material, plastic and glass. On the Tuesday - bin emptying day - again our bin was partially emptied and recycling type stuff was left. It was then we noticed most other cottages had a recycling bin, but our cottage didnt, so I assume this is the problem that the owners should correct. Incidentally the bin problem was made worse by a local resident depositing his rubbish into the bin for the cottage, until I challenged him. My last observation is that the cottage is located close to some bars and restaurants who seem to have their commercial rubbish collected early most mornings - including emptying large bins full of bottles - at 7.30 am. A strange time to do this when most people are still asleep or trying to get back to sleep after fighting with a problematic, lighted bathroom mirror..!

Anne | Couple Fabulous holiday in a lovely comfortable cottage. The cottage is very well equipped and was a real home from home. No need to use our car and we really appreciated the parking permit that was provided.
