Blacksmiths Cottage Reviews

Excellent cottage
This is our second visit to this delightful fully equipped cottage. It was very clean. We were left an extensive welcome pack. All the bedrooms were clean as was the kitchen/diner and the lounge. Each room has a tv in, including bedrooms. Since our last visit the cottage has been redecorated and had new furniture all of which were superb. The owner lives opposite and is very pleasant and obliging. We will definitely be going back later in the year All of which is 5*s Lynne and Alan Rhodes
Every thing we wanted

Dirty!
Nothing like the photos show online.It was dirty, in bad need of maintenance ,it was very dated and not very welcoming at all!The table mats still had previous guests spilt food on them,The bath was filthy, towels had brown marks on. Couldn?t sleep on main bedroom as it had a funny smell in there.Bedding was dirty.Plates that were not clean had been put back in the cupboard. We had to wipe down and antibac work surfaces.The back doors lock and handle was hanging and needed fixing.Extremely old furniture broken and covered in silver spray paint.Hosts no where to been seen ,even though their house was opposite the cottage!No blinds or curtains at either of the bathroom/toilet windows , which face towards the owners place. Lights were covered in cobwebs.The worst dirtiest place we have been to, def do not recommend this stay , unless you have zero standards in hygiene !
