Kirsty was an excellent host - very communicative and responsive to all requests. The cottage setting is very rural and not to far from the coast. Unfortunately we had a storm - Storm Ingrid - so we didn't get to enjoy all the walks we had planned so instead made the most of the hot tub and sauna, even in the rain which is a great selling point.The cottage facilities worked well for us as a family of 4 and a Labrador who loved the garden and countryside smells. The parking is a little unusual as there is no driveway so instead you are advised to park on a lane. Traffic can still pass on the upper corner of the lane as it's situated on a triangle but on arrival the notes were conflicting in the welcome pack with the sign located by the front door. Kirsty advised this would be updated for new guests but it's worth knowing you do get quite a lot of farm vehicles passing as stated in the VRBO description of the property, but particularly in the morning. The cottage was clean on arrival, towels were provided for the hot tub and all the beds were super comfy. The toaster was a little tricky to use so we recommended a new one as well as adding a freezer as there was only an undercounter fridge with no freezer compartment in the main cottage. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and despite Storm Ingrid making it a bit different to what we had planned, with the changes suggested above, we'd stay at Clotted Cream Cottage again.
