We were disappointed with our stay. The cottage we originally booked looked nice in the pictures, however, right before our stay we were informed that cottage we booked was not available due to a leak. They assigned us a different cottage and said it was the "exact same as what we had booked originally ".
Upon arrival into the cottage the first thing we see on as you open the door is a bottle of insect killer that the owners had left us. There was a mass amount of flying ants as soon as you walked in. It was disgusting.
Then as we walked through we found the cottage to be extremely dirty! Cob webs in the cobers, stains on the carpet, dirty dishes, dirty baby wipes under the bed, mold around the back of the toilet, and the smell of damp through out. We complained to the person we originally booked through and was offered a 2nd clean. 2nd? Was it even cleaned in the first place?
We had driven 4.5hrs, with 2 kids who were very excited to be on a holiday so we stayed. We went and bought some cleaning wipes and a couple candles to help cover the smell. We rewashed the dishes before use.
Cons: dirty run down cottage, £7/load of laundry, sauna and steam room closed, pool is small and crowded, not walkable to shops, no walking trails near as its on a busy B road, pub doesn’t open all day and only serves on pizza and bbq night.
Pro: location is quite, lots of parking, staff at the pub tried their best to have something for families every night and were kind.
