Sweet rural cottage- but information/write-up is out-dated

This is a sweet semi-detached cottage, but is in need of some updating. The house owner and local greeter were both very responsive and helpful with any issues/queries. When we first arrived we were a little saddened that the cottage did not look exactly as it does in the photos. The garden was very overgrown and where in the photos there had been 2 sofas in the sitting room there was just now one sofa. This was not ideal for a family of 5! The write-up also says there was a shower, but this was in-fact a showerhead on a bathtub. It’s also worth taking care if you have a large car. We have a fairly large family car and although we could make it down to the house down the bumpy farm track we realised the vegetation had scratched our car. Having said that the owner was extremely kind and accommodating, allowing us to take our two dogs, and when we raised the state of the garden and the issue with our car he got the grass mowed the same day and helped us get parking at the top of the lane so we didn’t need to drive down it every time we went out. The location being rural was perfect to allow the kids to roam, and is great for walks along the estuary. It’s worth taking note that the garden is not secure and next door and the track is openly accessible- so not suitable for small kids or dogs that wander. In terms of safety, we did notice that there was only one smoke alarm on the ground floor but not one on the upstairs landing, and there was no carbon monoxide detector.

The property was very very basic. There was a hornet nest outside the bathroom window and hornets managed to get into the cottage, the hot water had been turned off and even when turned on only enough hot water for one bath which is not ideal for a family of 4.and we saw and we saw at least 2 mice.we went home early.

A basic but beautiful stay

This property was basic but perfectly comfortable and in a stunning location! The lane to the property was very over geown and unfortunately my husbands car (which has low clearance) was unable to get down it. But the owner soon dorted an alternative for us. The neighbours ford focus had bo problems so i would say this wont be a problem for most! Access down to views over the estuary and walks from the house was great. No wifi but perfectly good signal for 4g - or a good excuse to go off grid. The host was wonderful and communication was excellent.

Hidden gem

Stunning views of the river, with boats sailing by. Large garden which goes down to the river with lovely walks. House basic but spacious, with a conservatory. Acess to the house on a rural track. We enjoyed lots of nearby outings.

abgelegen, aber hervorragend

Ein wunderbares Haus mit viel Garten und Grün drumherum, das zum Entspannen und Wandern einlädt. Die praktische Ausstattung des Hauses lässt nichts vermissen und die wlan-freie Zeit kann man gut genießen.
