Snaptrip says
Guests consistently praise The Old Dairy for its peaceful and beautiful setting, ideal for relaxation and exploration. The cottage is celebrated for its comfort, cleanliness, and the thoughtful touches provided by the owners. It's a hit with families and pet owners, thanks to its enclosed garden and proximity to nature and local attractions.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found The Old Dairy to be spotlessly clean, with only one review mentioning cleanliness issues. This suggests that high standards are typically maintained, with the isolated feedback likely representing a rare oversight.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful surroundings, and convenience for exploring nearby forests and villages. The only minor criticism was about the clarity of the distance to the local pub, but this does not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback.
Guests describe the cottage as comfortable, homely, and spacious, with a large garden area. There was a single mention of the double bedroom being cramped, but this does not appear to be a common concern among other reviews.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped cottage and additional amenities like a fishing lake. However, there were some comments about maintenance issues such as a dripping tap and a problematic bathroom sink plug, suggesting room for improvement.
While many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful welcome gifts, such as wine and toiletries, there is not enough information to guarantee that these gifts are a standard offering for all stays. Therefore, while appreciated, they cannot be expected by future guests.

There were lots of lovely walks that we enjoyed despite the weather and the washing machine/tumble drier was indispensable. The cottage was warm and comfortable and the facilities were all we needed. We met the owners and had a look around their farm too. Would definately recommend.

The cottage is clean, warm and had everything we needed. Thereâs good separation between the living space and the bedrooms, which is ideal in the evening if you have young children sleeping. The views out onto the farm are lovely too, and we could hear an owl in the evening. The owner is quick to respond and really friendly.
