positive:
Idyllic surroundings.
The property is serene and lush, with stretches of woodland, garden, and manicured estate grounds open to you and fellow guests. If you're looking to pick up supplies or dine out, you can take an easily accessible road into Launceston's centre.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Early check-out times.
Numerous guests were displeased with the property's designated check-out deadline, which may not leave ample time for eating breakfast, taking a last stroll around the premises, or sleeping in. If your heart is set on a late check-out, contact the property well in advance and place a request.
negative:
Occasional road noise.
While the nearby road isn't used as a major motorway, it's still subject to passing motorists at random hours of morning and evening. This is mainly an issue if your cottage is near the road, and you're sensitive to noise.
negative:
Towels should be larger.
The towel quality is average, but their dimensions make it difficult to dry off after a shower or spa bath. This is more of an inconvenience than a pressing issue, but you may still want to bring your own towels if you foresee an issue.
