A very rural, peaceful setting. The cottage is warm, cosy and very comfortable. It was well equipped with everything needed for making meals. Sadly, we soon realised the property was not very clean, particularly the kitchen and bathroom. The windowsills had flies on and skirting boards were so dusty with dog hair (possibly) on them. We had to clean the bath before we could use it. We washed all the kitchen crockery, cutlery and equipment before using., and sprayed all the surfaces with antibacterial spray. Everything just seemed a bit grubby. One ring on the hob didn't work. One side of the toaster wouldn't stay down so had to keep a figure on it to toast the bread. It's such a super property, but needs a couple of days spent cleaning and general maintenance. The garden is lovely and has sun morning and evening. The bifolds were great on a sunny day, with our dogs able to go on and out. To make it fully enclosed for dogs the gate needs to be kept closed. I would recommend this property, just hoping it has a good spring clean ! The flowers, Welsh cakes, fresh eggs and milk was much appreciated.

Fresh eggs, flowers and Welsh cakes provided and a small bottle of milk. All looked lovely .. but then I started to notice that the cottage needed a good clean. In the kitchen the outside of the kettle was stained with splashes of cooked food. The top of the toaster was covered in crumbs. An old and stained brush, cloth and sponge had been left to use by the sink (new cloth and sponge avialable under sink). Kitchen radio, dirty, grey. Top of microwave rusty. Inside of microwave under glass plate dirty. Lumps of black hair on the bedroom floor (dog?) Blanket on foot of double bed covered in black hair. Sheet/duvet on lower bunk bed covered in dog hairs and lower sheet gritty to the touch. Dead flies on the windowsills. Extension lead in bedroom covered in black hair and stained. I could go on (I took photos). The following day I went to see the owner to ask about the dog hair and the sheets. I was told a couple of black labs had stayed a few weeks back! They did volunteer to come in and clean and change the sheets. I took clean sheets for the bottom bunk bed and changed them myself. I felt uncomfotable with the general state of cleanliness. One ring on the cooker also did not appear to work. The cottage is in a lovely location. Comfy beds and a pretty garden ... BUT it needs a good scrub from top to bottom. The kitchen was well equipped. But found black hairs again in some dishes and on plates. We ran everything we intended to use through the dishwasher. I feel unhappy about publishing all of this and can only assume we were unlucky at this property, as no one has mentioned cleanliness as an issue before.
