Charming and location

Banged my head a couple of times

Great location and really good bed, fireplace and heating. Bedroom has been updated since the photos with a decent sized shower instead of bath.

A few arrival basics would be good for the price and the lights left on etc so its just a bit more welcoming. Dishwasher not working and seen old reviews saying the same, so naturally nothing was as clean as it could have been as evident the plates etc had just been hand cleaned - in a rush. Similarly the garden just needed a bit of TLC.

Great great location, lovely decor and very cosy. Shower was good, main bedroom decent size. So close to town and pubs, plus a great walk literally on your doorstep. Castleton is lovely.

Low ceilings bumped my head a few times - it’s a very old cottage just be aware of it.

Excellent location Refurbishment of cottage was to a good standard Bedroom and living room furniture comfortable.

Poor provision for people arriving later in the day i.e.: only one toilet roll, no basic cooking condiments provided e.g. sauce, olive oil, milk, butter etc - which means that people arriving late have to search the village for these supplies when the shops might be closed No board games provided Instructions for accessing wi fi were incorrect - had to ring the owner Given that cottage is probably let predominantly to walkers and people with a dog, there was no focussed provision for this - eg boot scraper outside, hose pipe to wash dog etc kitchen provision felt a bit dated - e.g. no air fryer, limited cutlery and insufficient plates, bowls, glasses etc Limited information provided about the village of Castleton -e.g. where the shops are, their opening time, emergency info etc. Limited bathroom washing facilities - one small bar of soap, no shampoo etc Even though we were told in advance, I think the lack of logs to light the fire is not very customer focused - in my view, there should at least have been enough logs for one fire session. The check in time is very late (5 pm)- I asked for an earlier time and it was granted (3 pm). I think that a check in time of 2 pm is not unreasonable.
