Before we arrived we got really worried about this place we were heading to based on the review in June. I think this review was unfair. Yes, the place is vintage in appearance, but it is not unclean. It has lovely bespoke crittal windows and has 1970s features, but that doesn't mean it isn't authentic. The deer come in the garden which is lovely, and its location is fantastic. The garden is lovely. It isn't cold and it has a hot shower. It does have a sensitive kitchen smoke alarm but we found it fine. Don't believe every review you read, that's what I would say. Yes, it is not recently decorated, it has carpets rather than laminate floors and old windows. but it is a lovely old cottage in the middle of the forest, that is perfectly capable of a nice place to stay. I think if you updated it too much you would spoil its authenticity. I like it.
