The cottage is clean and well equipped.....for a summer break. We visited in early November and were freezing. Although there are storage heaters and a coal fire, they are not adequate for a cottage of this age in winter unless the house is permanently occupied. Fortunately, we had plenty of warm clothing with us, but hadn't expected to have to wear it indoors.
The website stated that dogs are welcome in this property, so we took our dog away with us for the first time. We were not advised on the website or at the time of booking that dogs are not allowed upstairs in the house. We only found this out when looking at the visitor information booklet on arrival. Our dog is a nervy rescue collie and would not sleep downstairs alone. This meant that, although we both started the night upstairs, we had to take it in turns to sleep downstairs on the sofa to be in the same room as him.
The property does have off-road parking, but be advised that it's a struggle to get an estate car into it. The road is narrow and the only other alternative is to park on it in front of the cottage, as all other spaces belong to the residents of the houses opposite.
In summary, I would recommend this cottage; it's a nice house, but NOT in the winter months.
