Room was very clean and tidy, staff were friendly and welcoming even though the check-in process was a little convoluted.
One major problem was the fact that this isn't a whole cottage - you're sharing with the front half of the same cottage. This is made worse by the fact that both halves are separated by one flimsy wooden door, through which you can hear EVERYTHING. Throughout the night we were woken by our "neighbors" frequently, along with the constant noise of passing cars. I'm no stranger to living in close proximity to people, having lived in apartments most of my life, however the amount of noise the complete lack of anything to dampen it made sleeping impossible.
The room was (understandably) quite old, however it also had a musty, damp smell about it which was overwhelming when we first arrived. There was also a number of live spiders running around the place when we arrived.
If this cottage was priced like a 3 star motel, I would have no issues with any of the above. However with the premium rates charged here, I cannot in good faith recommend this to anyone.
