Guests that stayed at this property said

Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented, with particular praise for the shower and towels. However, there were isolated complaints about smells from the drains and issues with the dishwasher, which slightly mar the overall impression of cleanliness.

The location is highly regarded, with guests enjoying the proximity to the Amberley Inn, the peacefulness of the village, and the convenience for exploring the Cotswolds. The scenic surroundings and local walks add to the appeal of the cottage's location.

Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with a very comfortable bed and efficient central heating mentioned. Some guests experienced noise from adjacent hotel guests and issues with heating control, but overall, the comfort level is seen as satisfactory.

The facilities at the cottage received mixed reviews. Positive comments were made about the en-suite bathroom and the woodburning stove, but guests also noted the lack of kitchen equipment, such as a microwave, and maintenance issues with the dishwasher and heating. The presence of handrails for accessibility was appreciated.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owners towards the guests. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
