We stayed in the two bedroom side, which faces south and was incredibly dark.
The bedrooms were large and lovely, but even with every light on, the living area felt sad and dark. The sofa and chair were very old and in need of a refresh, and the space quite cramped, not a pleasant place to relax like we had hoped.
We stayed in summer and the house was cold with a damp smell. Although there was firewood in the shed, there was no kindling, or axe to cut our own, and not firelighters ir paper provided in anycase. The little electric heaters did their best, but weren't really up to the task.
The kitchen was a little difficult to use, with buckled frypans that didn't work well on an electric hot plate, and just one built in oven tray which was dirty (and no tinfoil or baking paper to cover it). With a toddler in tow, we like to cook meals at home when we can, but after the first night decided to just eat out instead, except for really basic, uncooked meals.
There are no laundry facilities on site, and the garden was overgrown and not appropriate for our toddler to play in.
Bathroom was acceptable, with a shower over a built in tub. Plentiful, warm water, but coukd beca problem if you have mobility issues.
We seriously considered just burning the money we paid to stay and moving on to our next location early.
The other cottage might have been nicer though, it was on the north side, so would have had much better light, and faced the large rear garden, instead of a road.
