The house and garden was to look at and the location ideal. Easy access to beautiful well maintained non national park walks. Perfect for the dogs. However first impressions marred by a broken window in the front door , dust and cobwebs. We vacuumed before vacating and it was evident that it had not been done close to our arrival and the charge in the cleaner was insufficient for the hole house. Kitchen was well set up however only 2 tea towels, no kitchen towel and no coffee provided. A few sachets of instant coffee for those who don’t feel the need to use a complicated machine would be nice. We also had to fix a bed in the room with the bay window before we could use it as it had become detached from the head board in one corner. This said we had a great stay, loved the house set up, the garden for the dogs, the beds were comfy and the decoration charming if a little in need of a fresh up. We would stay again.

Beautiful quiet home in a great location, the beds are comfortable and kitchen clean with everything working. A very cozy home in winter and a perfect enclosed yard my greyhound had a great time exploring. The perfect getaway for my family and we look forward to booking this home again, thank you to the hosts

Reasonable place to stay.
The cottage was cozy enough - fairly no frills. The backyard was secure for the dogs, which was good. The location is okay but nothing amazing - no view, not super close to good walks. Dealing with Air Keeper was over the top - why do I need to provide my driver's license and credit card photos when I have been on Stayz for years with an unblemished record?? Especially in the era of data hacking and identity theft, I think it is very irresponsible.
