Historical property, great location
Pros:

The cottage was very cosy and had everything I needed for a short stay.
The bed was exceptionally comfortable!
I was sent clear instructions on how to access the property and was delighted with the heritage building and its quirks. Just a short walk to the town centre for good meals and a spot of shopping.

Small, but well priced and comfortable for a short stay
Pros:

Historic small Garden Cottage, part of the Sorell Barraks complex. There was basic, though sufficient equipment for microwave meals. Comfortable bed, clean, Close to Sorell shops.

Cons:

The Garden Cottage (small building with blossom tree in photos) is NOT the Barracks. Very compact, just enough room to move around the bed with our bags on the floor. But the price is much lower than for the Barracks

Great little stay, just needs some finer details sorted out.
Pros:

Cosy, compact and had all necessities for a comfortable stay.

Cons:

In need of some TLC, front door needs replacing as it doesn’t open fully without a push and the gap at the top makes sure you can hear the traffic. Miss matching paint in the bathroom and main room needs addressing. Just all needs a bit of investment and a lick of paint.

Great value, history & comfort all in one
Pros:

What a great place to stay. History and comfort all in one. We stayed in the little cottage. Very cosy with a beautiful bedroom & a super comfy bed. The little kitchenette was an added bonus to save us having to go out for breakfast.

Sure it would be great if they can fix the electrical issue. the
Pros:

History connection

Cons:

No lights on arrival so no showers. Owner responded straight away to try to sort the issue and then called electrician. We had power for most of the late evening and morning. Lights came on in middle of the night but not in the morning. Something they will need to fix. Caretaker was great trying to help on a cold night but it definitely put a damper on the night.
