"Property was clean, well-furnished, comfortable and warm (once we got the heating going; see below). A generous supply of logs for the open fire was provided, with permission to take more from the adjoining barn. Property was quiet and peaceful.We were advised by the housekeeper that we could access the property after 2.00 p.m. rather than the standard 4.00 p.m., which was helpful. We arrived about 3.00 p.m. at which point the heating was not on and the house was cold (bearing in mind this was one of the coldest weeks of the winter). Also, the fridge and freezer were turned off (we note that other guests had commented on this in the visitors' book; it would be helpful for the fridge and freezer to be cold for the purposes of receiving supermarket deliveries etc.).The oil fired heating in the single storey part of the property produced a strong and unpleasant smell of oil when running; we wonder if the burners require cleaning/adjustment?A number of pieces of crockery were badly chipped and a few glasses were cracked (not by us!).There were no spare bin liners or food recycling bags (despite the dire warnings about the council's strict recycling rules).Although generally well-equipped, there were a few kitchen basics missing, e.g. a fish slice (useful for flipping fried eggs even if no fish cookery occurs!)."

"Absolutely beautiful property. And perfect for gathering large family groups together for tea. However we had 12 days of picture perfect weather!! No rain. No dryer was not a problem for us - clothes were put on ‘horse’ but could affect long term/winter visitors. Owner did offer use of a dryer if needed. And we missed a walk to pub / it was closed, but being restored, although not an easy walk anyway. Car very necessary for all shopping, long driveway. IHowever it was a delightful visit and everyone enjoyed the house,garden and surrounding walks. The Harrison’s, Key West, Florida"

"Lovely house in scenic, peaceful location. Well equipped, plentiful space etc. A bit short on bowls for snacks etc in the kitchen, but nothing critical. Directions ok, although it would be tricky to find in the dark! The final turning into the lane leading down to the house could maybe be explained more clearly, and with note to ignore private/ no entry sign as you near the house as there’s no sign sayin The Bell House before you reach the house drive way itself."

"Pleased with property although one of the bedrooms was very small compared with the others - ideal for children. Lovely sitting out area a real sun trap. The information about the area said that the cottage was within walking distance of the local pub. It was in fact a good 20 minute walk on a fairly busy narrow road with passing places so no footpath and the road surface wasn't good. We ended up having a taxi as couldn't risk walking back in the dark at night."

"Really lovely, modern and well-decorated apartment. We really enjoyed using it as a base and the surrounding countryside was perfect for walks and runs. Only main negative is the food situation - a 20 minute drive to the nearest good pubs (which were excellent!) and the studio itself isn’t really set up for self-catering with only a basic provision of equipments provided. Pat was lovely and did lend us anything missing though and always helpful with suggestions."
