Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and tidy, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few mentioned issues such as cobwebs and dust, which suggests room for improvement in some areas.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views and peacefulness. It is noted as being ideal for a relaxing break, with beautiful countryside and wildlife. The narrow access roads are mentioned, but they do not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.
The cottage is generally considered comfortable, with a particularly enjoyable conservatory. However, some guests reported issues with bed comfort and the practicality of the upstairs bath, which affects the overall comfort score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with guests appreciating the well-equipped kitchen, washing facilities, and garden space. The presence of animals adds to the charm. Some maintenance issues like uncomfortable dining chairs and a noisy fridge were noted.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience with thoughtful touches like a bottle of wine on arrival, there is not enough consistent information about gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Location was fab. Beautiful views. Clean, comfortable and well resourcedâ¦everything we required. Easy for us to keep clean e.g. lots of cleaning products, hoover, brushes etc⦠All white goods in perfect, clean condition. Great for our little 4 pawed members of the familyâ¦lovely walks, back garden grass for a good run, ruff & tumble etc. Would highly recommend this property. Thank you very muchâ¦

The owner was helpful and very friendly. Our only negative comment would be that the photos of clay pigeon shooting and archery should be removed from the listing since the was no sign of either activity.

The owners had gone above and beyond to provide everything for our holiday to be enjoyed in a totally relaxing environment. Lovely countryside surrounding the property where you couldn't help but relax. Only slight downside were the narrow lanes to reach the cottage but as we became more familiar with these they weren't as bad!!
