Lovely cottage, but could do with some shelving in bathroom, one beliw mirror and one above toilet as there is not much room in there.
The bed in front bedroom coukd do with being smaller as it is very tight to get round, and very awkward to open doir during the night.
Needs new latch on bathroom window as is now fixed shut.
Management team dealt with water issue quickly and got a plumber out.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
Finest retreats deliver good communication, even out of hours. The property wasnt easy to locate and needed to download a separate app to locate it's exact location.
We had a lovely accomodation for a reasonable price. It was a shame two heaters were not working and the mornings were super cold. There wasnt enough wood provided to heat the accomodation for both mornings and nights. Hence we had to spend an additional 13 pounds for the wood.
There also wasnt any toiletries but that meant we had the opportunity to meet the locals at the shops. All I can say is that the locals there are extremely helpful and friendly! The walk to the local supermarket is stunning.
