The bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen and main living area are small but functional and have all you need for a holiday break. The only complaint I have is that my partner and I found the main bed to be incredibly uncomfortable. I slept on the couch for a few nights of our stay! ##### Simon L. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Amy R. 21 Sept 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Cute house, needs work Cute house, however there were a few issues, the lounge was covered in dog hair, not just a little bit it was completely covered it didn’t look like it had even been attempted to be cleaned, the 2 throws and cushions were also covered in dog hair. It also just smelt strongly of dog. House over all needed a really good clean. Should also state if it has a porta cot and high chair if the house is family friendly. I did also message twice to ask with no response. Bed and pillow’s uncomfortable and linen didn’t feel fresh. ##### Amy R.
