Guests say
Spring Bank Cottage is highly praised for its spaciousness, comfortable furnishings, and beautiful location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, the views, and the proximity to local amenities and walking routes. The property's charm and the owner's responsiveness contribute to a delightful stay, despite minor feedback on maintenance and steep stairs.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, though a few mentioned areas needing attention, such as dust and cobwebs. The majority of comments, however, reflect a high standard of cleanliness.
The location is consistently lauded for its picturesque setting, proximity to local shops, pubs, and walking routes. The views of the cricket pitch and the village's charm add to the appeal.
Guests frequently mention the comfortable beds and the cosy, homely feel of the cottage. The spaciousness for large groups and the warm atmosphere during colder months are also highlighted.
The cottage is well-equipped with amenities, toys, and games, though some guests noted issues with the TV aerial and oven. The provision of tea, coffee, and biscuits was appreciated, and the utility area for outdoor gear is a plus.
While guests have expressed gratitude for the amenities and the owner's helpfulness, there are no specific mentions of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness based on gifts, and the score is set to null.

!! Some aspects were a bit disappointing - the hand rail on the stair between ground and lower ground was loose and we had difficulty operating the lower ground floor TV. It felt as if the house was slowly being upgraded by the owners so that all bathrooms and the top floor were immaculate but the kitchen and other rooms felt a little dated. But, in all, a very good base for a family get together!
