    The hooks on one of the twin bedrooms door are broken so you can't hang anything on them. The rotary drier in the garden seems to be broken as is very low, you couldn't hang long garments on it. Overall though, it's an idyllic place to stay, very quiet but not far from town, and a great space for our two energetic labradors.

    Just the shower knob that you had to lift in the bathroom was very stiff. The markings around the knobs on the oven were almost invisible and this made us burn our food. The heating was very good. The gate was much easier to open than last year. Not all the instructions for the appliances were there. In the black ring binder it is not clear who to contact with any issues. When the cafetiere cracked I tried to contact the caretaker from the cottage but could not get through then I texted but did not get a reply. Then I looked further into the ring binder and saw that it said if there were any issues to contact dream cottages. From the landline phone is it possible to not only call 999 but to contact Dream cottages as there is no mobile signal from the cottage.

    The location of Woodlands is perfect. You simple step out the gate and can walk to your hearts desire. Over the past year the owner has upgraded the Bathroom and Shower Room which now look sleek and modern. The garden has loads of room and plenty to explore for the ever curious dogs, this stay at Woodlands has proven very special with lots of memories made. Sadly two weeks after returning home our beautiful boy, Benji Boo made his final trip over the Rainbow Bridge. We will be forever grateful that we could spend such precious time within this magical setting with Benji. (Cocker Spaniel). Benji Boo 2008 - 2023. Until we meet again.
