One of the best cottages I have ever stayed in. Clean, comfortable, loads of space, and a really good standard of decor, with a nice grassed area and picnic bench near the car parking area.Now the downside. The stone patio area in front of the cottage was covered in weeds, and there were two seats with a joined on table. The front gate and seats needed painting as paint was peeling off. The rear yard was even worse. Apart from a planter with seats the rest was horrible. There was one tiny picnic table that should have been in the skip as the slats had broken and and in a disgusting state. There were some sun loungers stacked up against a wall, but looked liked they had been left outside all winter with green algae on.I cannot fathom why the owners had obviously gone to a lot of expense inside and not carried it on outside. E.g. we saw a mock rattan table and chairs in Alnwick.for under £100.
