I don’t normally leave reviews however, as I struggled to find reviews for these cottages, I hope my account will be useful for others to make more informed choices.
We stayed in Birch. The cottage is in beautiful setting in the woods. It is specious and well equipped with kitchen utensils. There is good WiFi.
The cottages are scattered upwards on the hill, it would have been useful to have a map of these, some are closer to the car park than the others, which may be important consideration. Ours was at the top.
There is a pre-paid electricity meter. We used up the credit the first night and so effectively had to pay for electricity for the rest of our stay. This was not made clear at the stage of booking.
The cottage was not perfectly clean, eg there were cobwebs in the bathroom and grease on the cooker. The wood in the cottage was also sticky at times, however, this may be because of the old varnish.
Hot water is supplied in various ways and there wasn’t any supply for the bathroom sink which only had cold water.
The cottage had a strong smell, which I now think might be dump. This soaked into our skin and hair and in everything we had with us.
Saying all this, the above seems to be reflected in the price, I just wish we would have known more to be able to make a more informed choice.
