  : Quiet, good location and mostly comfortable beds (although one was broken but fortunately we did not need it).
  : Grubby house generally. Very dirty kitchen floor, filthy windows, dog hair everywhere, one sitting room chair stinking of urine, tired dirty sitting room furniture, dirty crockery, dirty cutlery, two toilet rolls for six nights and very limited water pressure for the shower.

  : The location was perfect for us and it was quite comfortable
  : It was very cold on arrival and it would have been nice to come into a warm room when it was really cold and wet outside

  : The property is an authentic cottage with all the benefits and disadvantages of this. The location was great for walking , you could visit the ruins of a mine down the street and it was very close to a very nice pub. The cottage itself has been modernized and this has been done respecting the original building. It is a nice place for 2 -3 adults or a small family (2 adults 2 small children), more than that and it becomes very crowded. They had provided a space heater for the living room, which was much needed during our visit and particularly nice in the mornings and during the storm, as the heating was a little random. The fireplace is very cozy and gave a nice feeling to the space. The kitchen is small as expected, while it was equipped with the necessary appliances.
  : The main issue we had was that there was virtually no water pressure for the hot water, so washing was difficult and showering almost impossible. This was very frustrating and had the biggest impact on our stay. During our stay, there was also a storm, so needed the heating, which seemed to go on and off at random times. Also during the rain the window at the front of the house leaked, leaving puddles of water on the window sill. While the house was clean it smelled damp and musty most of the time. We were there in the early spring and the street in front of the house was already full of parked cars, but we were able to park each day.
