Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the exceptional cleanliness of the cottage, describing it as spotless and well-maintained. One minor comment about cleanliness under the sofa cushions suggests room for improvement, but overall, the standard is very high.
The location is frequently described as stunning and peaceful, with beautiful views and proximity to local attractions. The secure garden and wildlife add to the charm, although one mention of slippery stairs in adverse weather slightly tempers the score.
Comfort is a highlight, with guests mentioning comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. The property is deemed suitable for both short and extended stays, indicating a high level of overall comfort.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and hot tub, are generally praised. The mention of a well-thought-out space and the provision of amenities for dogs are positive. However, the lack of direct garden access from the stairs and one comment on kitchen cleanliness slightly affect the score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the provision of items such as spare toothbrushes and the readiness to assist with the hot tub. While gifts like fresh eggs are mentioned, it is noted that such personal touches, though delightful, may vary and are not guaranteed.

Owners were very friendly and accommodating. During our start the owner gave us the opportunity to see a foal that was born during our stay. Perfect country stay with lots of scenic walks. Short drive to local shops and local pub.
