My family and I had a lovely stay over the weekend at this cottage. Our host kindly allowed us to check in early and out late (especially helpful given the changing clocks!). It's a beautiful home and really well maintained. I would caution anyone planning to cook that the kitchen is not stocked and the dishwasher did not work. Considering the general phone signal is poor it was a shame the wifi didn't work but we weren't relying on it. Other than those small inconveniences we had a very nice time. Thanks for having us! ##### Scarlett P. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Judy H. 21 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Warm and cozy cottage Great time but a few “niggly bits” which brings the star rating down. No instructions for anything Tumble dryer didn’t tumble No “live” T V No spare lightbulbs - quite a few missing Dishwasher didn’t clean very well ##### Judy H. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephen T. 13 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### House is fine damage deposit is misleading Damage deposit of £350 taken on arrival day, taken again after 4 days and taken again on departure day. Payments not started to be released until a week after return so at one point over £1000 held on credit card. This was not made clear before rental. Called vrbo who said they would talk to landlord once I sent image of bank account, 10 days later and no reply to my many emails so vrbo customer service is rubbish. Showers are poorly maintained and hard to use, tv requires you to log in to use it so not ideal. Pity because apart from that it was good. ##### Stephen T.
