Nearly perfect
2 issues have to be resolved: the heating system has an mechanical issue: either you have to turn it off or you put it on but the entire house is boiling. Heaters have not been fixed properly and as a result putting it on level 1 or 5 makes no difference. Same with the thermostat.
The door of the shower upstairs is damaged. As a result, water comes out.
The rest of the property is immaculate. I regret the property manager ignored my message about the heating system being still problematic the last day of our stay. I would have liked at least an answer from her. She didn't bother answering me, I guess knowing we were leaving. Part from that the town is amazing and the location ideal.

Lovely cottage, perfect location
The cottage was lovely and in the perfect location. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. Everything we needed was provided and a two minute walk to the village centre. We had a very enjoyable long weekend break.

Lovely cottage, a few niggles
Lovely little cottage in a good place just a few niggles. Door key in the outside door when arrived , door unlocked. Carbon monoxide alarm was bleeping constantly on entry. Rang to report and it took 2 calls to your office and almost 3 hours for someone to come and replace it. We couldn't switch the noise off . Master bed has a very wobbly base.
