    No advice or facility for composting either. We took rexycling back home. Many others in the guest book comment on this issue too. Thanks for the bedroom door hook.

  • "No issues-accommodation excellent."

    WiFi good and strong. Smart tv had Netflix and Prime available which was much appreciated. So too was the heated towel rail, as we chose a particularly cold and wet week to visit. Thank you for the milk, tea, coffee etc to get our holiday off to a good start. Very happy.

  • "A great home for us for the week we stayed."

    Immediately welcoming on arrival, very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The owners had clearly given thought to what they would need if they were staying (not always the case). Nice neighbours too. Exceptionally well and centrally located for easy access to all the places around us that we wanted to visit. Also, really close to a local shop and excellent pub/restaurant (Kingfisher) and not very far from several other great restaurants in nearby towns and villages.

  • "The overall experience was positive however we have issues with the heating system and bed comfort."

    There is a thermostat in the hallway which we thought was ours to turn up or down, we only required heating in the bathroom and hallway to dry out wet towels or clothes. The thermostat was not responding and this reported to the owners but it seemed to be on a timer. Our bed consisted of 2 single beds pushed together unfortunately not comfortable beds

    It needed restarting but I can imagine some guests would have been frustrated by it. I had no telephone signal throughout the week, on EE. Fortunately it worked ok on the virgin network. Otherwise, we had everything we needed. Parking was easy. Bed was comfortable. Shower was great. Nice and airy living space. Dishwasher and tables were provided. There was also a washing machine. Easy access the the beaches by car. People were friendly. Nice stay.

  • "Beautiful cottage."

    Perfect for the two of us and a perfect cottage in this recent heatwave - bedroom downstairs was so lovely and cool. - it got a bit warm upstairs but you’d expect that in this unprecedented weather and it just meant we preferred to go out to eat at the Kingfisher Pub which was lovely, welcoming, good food and only a few steps away!! Only thing I’d suggest in the property is a pair of oven gloves and maybe more than 5 hangers - (we needed a few more for the two of us) Overall a lovely holiday in a lovely village - and the tram was the icing on the cake

    Fortunately Tesco was close by and I bought one. Cottage clean although crockery not checked as I found mashed potato on the masher (photo was taken) We were asked to clean cottage and leave as found but cleaning appliances not up to scratch considering pet allowance. Improvements needed

  • "The bathroom has mould on the tiles, and it looks like something is growing on the plastic of the shower screen."

    For security reasons we did not leave windows open when we went out. The walls must be very thin - as we could hear our neighbours - their TV, microwave and the thing that use to make me jump is when they turned on the water tap when we were in bed, it was quite loud. I assume they could hear us as well. And being really picky - the bedroom drawers need to be waxed so they can run smoothly and be less noisy, especially if you needed to open a drawer in the night. The cottage had a lovely feel, it had everything we wanted, it was in a great location and we really enjoyed our stay.

    Chairs and a little table are provided but only the car park and at the moment a builders yard are of sufficient size to accomodate them .There is nowhere even when the builders are finished to have outside seatings. I really do not want to look at a car park while relaxing.

    We went for toilet walks. The information provided by the cottage owners had no information about recycling rubbish and when refuse collections happen. Also there was no information about how the oven worked and the storage heaters needed studying to get them up and running. However the cottage was cosy and warm,everything worked and there was always plenty of hot water. We enjoyed exploring the village and the neighbours were friendly and helpful.

    Also, the outdoor space advertised is misleading. A table and 2 chairs plonked in a car park which resembled a builders yard does not constitute outdoor space.
