On arrival the cottage was warm as Noel had thoughtfully lit the fire for us. We stayed in this beautiful rustic/country cottage for 2 nights using as a base for travel. The very large bed upstairs was super comfortable so peaceful & tranquil giving us a great sleep without being disturbed. The bathroom, lounge & kitchen were down stairs. Unfortunately there were some important areas that weren't as clean as they should have been- the bath, sink & shower were dirty. The kitchen sink was dirty & some of the cupboard & drawer contents. The furniture is tired & worn. The cottages immediate surrounding grounds & garden were overgrown & unkept. We had to boil the discoloured water before drinking it. There was plenty of firewood to keep the place warm.
