Booked it for my partners 50th birthday. Packed with everything you need for your stay including a bottle of bubbly, chocolates and milk. Gilbert & Emma were lovely and although Gilbert had to check the hot tub every morning you never knew he was there. The cottage was immaculate and so nicely decorated (would love to live there) including a christmas tree. Such beautiful scenary and so peaceful a great place to relax and recharge your batteries. Great secure areas for our 2 GSD's to stretch their legs. Would highly recommend 5*, I will be recommending to all my friends those with and without dogs. Hoping to rebook in 2024. Thank you both for our great long weekend and have a lovely

The owners were very helpful and friendly, but still felt very private. Beautiful location with lots of lovely walks. Outside tap a must with dogs as very muddy in November! Cottage was perfect - lovely and warm and very comfortable. The hot tub was a bonus amd perfectly clean and well maintained. Don't think I have ever given 5s for all aspects, but would definitely return here.

That said there were some elements which were not quite as described in the listing (possibly Skye's errors). The owner's property being in close proximity actually means it is about 3mtrs away & the drive in the picture is their main access to their property. This means every time they come & go it is right in front of your windows & having the hot tub checked every morning means someone goes past the window & kitchen daily - not making it very private. The Crown Inn is also in Wentnor, not Wetnor as per the listing and is also over 2 miles away - we were disappointed to find we could not walk to it (although it was fabulous!). The blue light in the bedroom for the heating controls was very bright at night & the shower area needed a good clean around the bottom. It is a shame as these things would have stopped us booking this property, we felt the listing misleading. That said the owner could not have more polite, friendly and welcoming. The hot tub was a lovely luxury but the dressing gowns and towel were only really ideal for very small people.
