This is a beautifully restored building and quite comfortable and clean, but we came away feeling a little underwhelmed.
We checked in alone as our 8pm arrival was too late for the hosts, which didn't bother us but it was a pity not to meet them at all. We were disappointed with the shower, which had no pressure at all and was actually quite difficult to wash my hair. There were diffusers everywhere and the sheets, towels etc all smelled very strong, to the point where I felt a little nauseous going to bed - this is totally a matter of personal taste but it just didn't do it for us! There was also no basics provided in the kitchen, such as sugar or fresh milk for tea/coffee. There were notes everywhere telling us what to do and what not to do with the heating, water, utensils, bins, etc etc etc, but not much making us feel welcome.
Having booked & paid for our stay, we were then informed that we would have to pay extra to use the electricity. While I understand the reasoning behind the host's decision, I completely disagree with it. If you list the property at a price including mod cons such as WiFi, shower etc, the guest should not have to pay extra for the electricity to use these things. The cottage was above average price without adding this on. At the very least you could surely ask potential guests to agree to this arrangement before paying for their stay.
Overall, at the price we paid, we expected to find the place to be something a little bit special, but in reality we found the space felt contrived and the hosts a little cold.
