    “Cow Byre was very clean, well equipped kitchen.”

    As a hot tub owner I found the tub to be very disappointing, the lid in awful condition no lifter for the cover and the controls should have been same side as the steps. Also very over looked. The Log burner superb only issue was after the initial log package left couldn’t purchase more as was told it was being cleaned out the next day which is odd when I booked this you expect what is on offer at the cottage you should be able to use. We did have a pleasant stay apart from those issues.

    Hello, thank you for your review. Re the lifter, unfortunately things break. New lid and lifter are on order and like most things there is a wait for them to be made to order, delivered and fitted. Re the fire, this was Sunday late afternoon/evening, and we did say unfortunately this wouldn’t be possible as the chimney sweep was due the next morning and the flue needs to be cool cleaned and ready for the sweep. This is a legal requirement that has to be made for us to stay open. So unfortunately this is beyond our control and very sorry if it impeded your stay, we do try very hard to fit maintenance around our guests but it not always possible. Property Owner
