Nothing - it was a lovely cottage well equipped - only thing I would say is second bedroom is very small but I wasn’t sleeping in that one so didn’t really bother me

The cottage was lovely, perfect size with great facilities.
Parking! Although there are clear directions given for parking with the permit provided we were unable to get parked anywhere near the house. Which meant we had to keep going to move the car as the parking we had was timed. Finally got parked close to the house on the street only on the morning that we were leaving.

Beautifully furnished, very clean, all the kitchen bits you’d need, great location. Nice and warm, and a wood stove to play with.

Positives:
The cottage looks great on pictures + at first glance - lovely decor and quirky features.
It's situated in Morpeth centre, so it's close to shops and facilities.
Negatives:
The towels, pillows + mattress are very cheap/low quality. Other people have commented on this also + it's obviously not been changed. Just simple better quality upgrades would improve the experience massively. The bed was so uncomfortable we didn't end up staying our 2nd night. There were only bath towels, no hand towels so you had to dry your hands, face + body with the same towel.
The downstairs bathroom has no blind so you feel very exposed when showering. Again others have commented on this + nothing has been done.
The place didn't feel hugely clean - the dishes were grotty, things felt sticky, the feature light in the bedroom was thick with dust, there were cobwebs all over the fake plants in the bathroom, the 'wood' panels were all peeling and grotty.
The parking was difficult. It's on street near to the property (you can't park outside the cottage as it's down a passage which we didn't realise & it took us a while to find it). It wasn't explained properly in the instructions + when other people asked the owner if you can park outside they had said yes. You can't. We struggled to get anywhere in the area on the Saturday afternoon + had to circle several times.
The main bedroom is a tight squeeze with the bath plinth right next to the bed + the bed right next to the wall. You have to shuffle round the bed to get in + we bashed our feet multiple times.
The TV in the bedroom was switched off at the plug which was about 10 feet in the air so we couldn't reach to turn it on, meaning it was unusable. It's also way too big for the space - making it an even tighter squeeze past the bed.
There is a church nearby which chimes a short tune every 15 minutes all night long.
