Reviews
Excellent location, safe garden for dogs. The cottage itself is very nice however is in need of a good update, it is somewhat tired and requires various matters attending to as listed. 1.The can opener did not work, needs replacing. 2.The dining room table top is annoyingly wobbly and requires fixing. 3. The cooker top oven door is loose and comes off when it is opened. ( This may be considered dangerous! ) 4. The integrated fridge door is loose at the bottom. 5. Upstairs toilet handle comes loose, requires fixing. 6. The kitchen utensils require an upgrade, ie. Tongs, kitchen scissors, etc. Overall a nice cottage that could be excellent if some time and effort were to be spent on a deep clean and refurb.
