As stated in visitors book: Kitchen cleanliness was inadequate. Plates and gladness were hand washed and not dishwasher clean. Surfaces were not clean.. No instructions (internet, washing machines, heating, etc.); no basics (salt, sugar) etc and no guest welcomes (water/wine, flowers, etc..But bathroooms and bedding was good and once settled and cleaned up the cottage was good. But not in same league as customer choice.

Our stay at Ox Lodge Cottage felt like stepping back in time and into a dolls house. It’s a truly quaint and very pretty cottage full of charm, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the setting is incredibly peaceful, with breath-taking views all around that make it easy to relax and unwind.Although the views were not visible directly from the cottage, just a few steps around the corner and WOW. You’ll find that it’s part of a working farm. Despite this, there was absolutely no disturbance during our stay, it only added to the authentic countryside experience which we absolutely love.There’s so much to see and visit nearby, along with plenty of beautiful country walks right on your doorstep. On these walks, you can even spot a Greek temple, which really sparks your curiosity and makes you want to delve into the history of the area and the property itself. We had a wonderful time exploring everything around us. The information pack in the cottage was also very helpful, highlighting lots of things to do and places to visit, which made planning our days easy. We met the owner, Henry, who was very kind and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable.Inside, the cottage is clean, cosy and well-equipped, with everything you need all under one roof. The beds were especially comfortable, making it easy to rest after a day out.One small suggestion, and meant very positively, is that if the garden or yard wall were a little lower, it would be amazing, as it would allow those beautiful surrounding views to be enjoyed directly from the cottage itself. It would be a lovely added bonus.Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Ox Lodge Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful countryside escape.
