    “The house is lovely.”

    The facilities were clean and it was very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I have some feedback though. 1. The smell downstairs was awful. It hit us the moment we walked in and seemed to emanate from the cupboard on the far right in the kitchen. It really was most off putting and quite vile. 2. As it’s quite likely that you will be having largish parties to stay, larger cooking vessels would be great to have. We had to buy a couple of large disposable roasting tins ...

As it’s quite likely that you will be having largish parties to stay, larger cooking vessels would be great to have. We had to buy a couple of large disposable roasting tins. However the second point is minor in comparison to the dreadful smell. Perhaps leaving some more scented candles/diffusers might help if it can’t get sorted. All that said though, we loved cottage, enjoyed reading about its history and had a very lovely time so thank you.
