“The property had charm with its amazing gardens and excellent location. Susan was good at providing the check in information which we really appreciated. We also thought the price for our 9-night stay during the holiday season was reasonable, however, there were downsides which were disappointing. The cottage was clean but felt very dated with old personal items everywhere and too many indoor plants to navigate around including the entrance to the cottage, plants need to be trimmed back. The fridge was too small and needs a larger one. The TV is outdated, needs a Smart TV. The bed was hard and uncomfortable. No washing machine; there is space for one. The bathroom taps, hard to turn off and dripped and when I informed the host, they looked at them on day 2 but did not fix the problem. The floors were very creaky and at times felt like we would go through them. I get that it is an old cottage but some areas of the floors need attention. The host lives at the back of the property and at times was doing work which was noisy on public holidays, grinding (New Years Day) and also water pressure cleaning (Boxing Day morning), a quick message to let us know they were doing some work would have been considerate, other than that it was quiet. If you are looking for a simple place with an old-fashioned vibe and don’t mind quirks this cottage could work for you for a short getaway for longer term stayers the points above should be addressed as the cottage has great potential. ”

“Charming cottage in a great location which suited our needs. We had a very comfortable stay and would highly recommend Machiya Cottage. ”

“Beautiful property, very short walk to the Train Station.”
