We loved the cottage and where it's situated, stunning grounds, we're country dwellers and love an older place. There are some serious issues though, the cottage is looking tired and has a very musty smell on entrance. Our comments below:
Bedroom - The worst thing is the sheets, pillows and towels all now have that musty smell. Was tough to put up with it, but we were using the place to just crash after a gig. If we had been staying for a vacation we would have left.
Bathroom - The bath and shower are a death trap with no non slip mat available, plus the shower is a dribble at best. With everything being musty you needed to feel fresh, this was a let down.
The garden - It is called Garden Cottage, it just looks messy now, especially we are in summer. The table and chairs just don't sit right however you try. It's not a place of relaxation.
The rest - Just needs a lick of paint and a freshen up.
It's a shame about the smell, the place must have damp as it stinks out everything. We were staying for a couple of night either side of a day festival, so literally used it for sleep and shower. If this had been for a nice weekend away or a holiday base for a week or wouldn't be acceptable.
The place needs just a little TLC to make it better.
