Guests that stayed at this property said
The cleanliness of the cottage has received mixed feedback. While some guests found it to be clean and cosy, others noted issues with maintenance and cleanliness in certain areas. The presence of both positive and negative comments suggests that cleanliness is generally satisfactory, but there is room for improvement.
The location of Tinners Cottage is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions, including Bodmin Moor and the coast. Guests have enjoyed the quiet setting and the wildlife, indicating a very good location score.
Comfort has been a point of contention among guests. While some found the cottage cosy, especially with the fire going, others mentioned uncomfortable mattresses and pillows. The overall sentiment is that the cottage is reasonably comfortable, though there is potential for enhancement.
Facilities at the cottage are generally good, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and a lovely garden. However, there have been comments about insufficient hot water, issues with the TV, and challenges with the internet. Maintenance appears to be responsive, but the mixed reviews suggest that the facilities could be better maintained.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. As such, this category cannot be scored.
