Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it to be dusty with a need for a deeper clean, while others were satisfied. The presence of dead insects and cobwebs was noted, suggesting room for improvement.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, picturesque countryside, and proximity to good pubs and restaurants. The rural setting and scenic walks directly from the property contribute to its high rating.

Guests found the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a warm atmosphere and well-equipped for a relaxing stay. Some minor issues were raised regarding the need for better outdoor seating and a door for privacy in one bedroom.

Facilities are generally good, but some maintenance issues were reported, such as problems with the shower, hob, and lights. The garden is well-maintained, and the property is equipped for a comfortable stay, but attention to certain details is needed.

The welcome hamper was frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may vary, not being a guaranteed feature of every stay.

    We had a really lovely week at Magna Cottage. The cottage itself was comfortable, with everything we needed. The directions provided were clear and we found the cottage without any issue. The large enclosed garden was amazing and we could have done a different walk every day, without having to get into the car. Definitely recommended and we plan to come back!
