  : No notification on info regards very steep internal stairs to bedroom and bathroom; could be an issue for older people.

Fair

  : Upstairs was bright and airy, Good shower.Nice quiet location, Plenty of parking.Close to amenities.
  : When entering the cottage it had a horrible smell about it (Downstairs), Like a mix of dog and cooking residues.Microwave dirty, Build up of dirt/dust on kitchen floor some, surfaces and ledges.Outside area separate to cottage along a pathway through a gate and once realised,only used once as it was slightly overgrown and not really appealing.Cupboard liners for crockery were old, stained and grotty.Generally messy and cluttered downstairs.We checked out 2 days early in the end as it wasn't for us and as the weather got warmer we didn't want to sit indoors in a non ventilated living room!Note. I know it says dog friendly, we don't have dogs but are dog lovers, We have stayed in 2 other dog friendly cottages in the last 12 months that were very well kept to the point you wouldn't know if one had been there or not prior to your stay.

  : Beautiful location, easy to find, with good parking, great local amenities. Rosella Cottage was cosy and welcoming and well equipped. In this day and age, there was an excellent, all important great Wifi signal, absolutely no mobile signal (this can be considered a bonus!).
  : An overhaul of the kitchen equipment would be a bonus - with the addition of some sharp knives, and a bit of maintenance on the cooker. Would also have been handy to have a couple of rugs/blankets in the living room.

Wonderful

  : The location is in an idyllic village that would suit anyone wanting a break from the rigours of normal life... I stayed for work purposes, so found it a little remote, but that was purely the fact that I needed to make calls and work on emails. The wifi password had changed so i was incommunicado for an hour or so, until the neighbour came around to let me know what the password was. There is no phone signal at all, anywhere in the village, which would be great if it wasn't for me being away with work!!
