Cleanliness
The property needs a deep and thorough clean. It is classed 5 star which it definitely is not. Examples are a dirty rug, cobwebs, old scruffy sofa, not cleaned under the beds. I could continue, but that is enough for starters. At just short of £1000 for the week I expected better.
It’s a great shame because the location is so peaceful and beautiful.

Another Amazing Experience at the Milk Parlour
This is the second time we have stayed at the Milk Parlour and both times it was an amazing experience. The location is perfect, tranquil with amazing views. The cottage is comfortable and spacious for 2-4 people.

Visit to milking parlour
Would have given this property 5 plus stars but on one day when we were out someone entered the property to deliver a rug. We assumed no one would enter the property whilst we hired it except in an emergency. The property itself was magnificent and most luxuriousl.
