Guests were delighted with the cottage's location, noting its proximity to local attractions, dining options, and scenic views. The nearby pub was mentioned both for convenience and occasional noise, but overall, the location was highly regarded.
Comfort levels were generally high, especially in the main bedroom, but some guests found the mattresses in the smaller rooms to be less comfortable. The cosy atmosphere and woodburner added to the overall comfort of the cottage.
Facilities at Oak Cottage were appreciated, including the well-equipped kitchen and dining area. However, intermittent Wi-Fi and the lack of an additional toilet were noted. The garden's condition and some maintenance issues were also mentioned.

It has everything you could ever need. The house is spacious for us both and our three dogs. The caretakers Julie and Bryan were really lovely; messaging us to let us know that the property would be available sooner, and checking with us before coming to put the bins out and in without disturbing us. The homeowners were fabulous, firstly to allow us to bring our three dogs and secondly to keep us well informed of any high water level alerts and made sure we were safe at all times. The water level was no issues at all but it is nice to know that the owners are hands on and the guests safety are their priority.
