“It's a shame that there are some downsides to the cottage, otherwise it would be the ideal place to stay.”
It has a reasonable kitchen, a lounge area big enough for two, a nice bathroom and shower, convenient parking right outside for one car and a very effective towel rail, although to make it work, the entire heating system had to be on, and with no thermostat in the bedroom (during my stay), it soon became far too hot.
Unfortunately, there are quite a few shortcomings; there was no shaver socket for charging a toothbrush or shaver, the shower glass only worked if you are less than 5'6" tall, otherwise the entire bathroom became a wet room as water sprayed everywhere. There is nowhere to sit outside, other than the nearby pub. There are no door hooks or anywhere to hang coats. There is nothing in the details about a Washing Machine or Dishwasher because neither are fitted.
Most disappointing though was the lack of tea towels for drying crockery - I did enquire but was told that being self-catering, I should have bought my own - that's a first! Toilet rolls are also not provided so there is a reliance on the previous occupants leaving some - you have been warned!
Finally, and perhaps for some, a deal breaker; there is no internet or wi-fi. There is a smart TV which promises much but without wi-fi delivers very little.
Overall I was happy with the stay but with a few minor additions it could be an excellent place to stay.
