Tranquil and peaceful.

9.0

The location is amazing. The property is a gorgeous conversion, tastefully decorated with a clever kitchen, a spacious bathroom and a lovely garden area overlooking the fields. So tranquil.

Worth noting that the bedroom and living area is the same space. The “bed” is a sofabed and not the most comfortable for two people… and a bit of pain to keep putting away and opening up.

Cosy is right

8.0

Gorgeous tiny cottage in an ideal location for stunning walks and views. Equipped with everything you would need for a few nights and comfy sofa bed. Plus Austin was very helpful and quick to reply.

It was our fault for not reading the small print properly but we took our 6 month old with us and we were very limited for space so we would highly recommend either a single person or a couple. The sofa bed is super comfy and great for a few nights but next time, we will probably hire the coastguards for more room and family comfort.

Wonderful building and location if you want somewhere really peaceful

7.0

The accommodation is really cosy. The location is really peaceful. The way the room was decorated was also really well done. The heated floors in the kitchen and bathroom were. lovely touch. The building is stunning. The host responded to us immediately when we called.

The bed was incredibly uncomfortable. It did not lay flat and was higher in the middle than at the head and feet. The mattress was very thin and we could feel the springs of the bed though it. It would be better if this room just had proper bed with no sofa like a hotel. The shower did not have a thermostat so it was either boiling or freezing. There was only two of us so we did not use the bunks but I would not recommend them for children. The sofa was very dirty.

Had a fabulous stay there and would definitely stay there again.

The location was perfect for us as it was great for walking our dog.

Think the property could benefit with a microwave which could be wall mounted. And the sofa bed could do with a topper as it is quite lumpy.

Quiet location, very clean and tidy, easy access and clear instructions.

Hot water in the shower went out and came back so had to wait for one minute under freezing water.
