Painter's Cottage

Rustic interior very cosy and perfect for our trip.

Not a lot to dislike everything we needed was there any problems we did have weren’t major enough to complain. House was beautiful very happy with it.

Beautiful location

Beautifully warm on arrival, which was a dark, wet, fairly cold February night with little children, so that was very welcome. The wood burner was used every day and everyone loved it! It had everything we needed except a freezer, which I realised only after buying some frozen items, annoyingly. We then found the freezer the next day (we think?) in a glazed unit in the dining room. The stairs are pretty narrow/steep so wouldn't suit an elderly person. Travel cot and high chair, not mentioned in listing but handy to know if you're a parent. It was a quirky stay, great view down the hill albeit a hike to walk up it from the main road but perfectly do-able with some rests. Well situated for the cable cars - the line runs up just a few hundred yards away. The property was perfectly suitable as a base for us - no frills really but it didn't matter. Good entrance hallway with hooks/shelf, for storing gear and generally dropping all the outdoor clobber, it really helped with organisation.

Kitchen was tiny, more like a kitchenette and only suitable for one at a time, but fine for what it was. Freezer was in an odd place so didn't find it until too late (unit in dining room). Kitchen tap was like nothing i've seen before but eventually got used to it. The property decor and furnishings felt 'tired' but everything was perfectly useable. Some of the kitchen cupboard contents were not very clean but no issue, we washed most things before using them anyway.

Location and view

internally property is tiered needs renovating or at least a freshen up, we needed to buy air fresheners due to musty smell, toilet flush also needs attention
