We initially struggled to access the property (our own fault!), as Stapleton and Park Gate cottages whilst nearby, were hard to distinguish in the dark and rain. We rang the emergency contact who came promptly and helped us get in — thank you!
The cottage is cosy, nicely decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable. Bathrooms are clean, modern and well-equipped. With six of us, there was plenty of space and ample parking.
A few minor criticisms: the bedrooms, bathrooms, dining room and lounge are all in good condition, but the small kitchen, while clean, is very dated and missing basics such as oven/grill trays. The bedroom above the kitchen has a comfortable bed, but the frame is either very low or mattress is on floor and may not suit everyone; a bedside table would also be helpful. There was also some unsightly cable-management in the living room.
Finally, we didn’t need to use the front door as access is via the back; however, the area behind the front door is a little unkempt with some wall damage, but it doesn’t impact the stay and is likely already known to the owners.
