Guests say
Clematis Cottage is praised for its high-quality furnishings, cleanliness, and well-equipped facilities, making it a cosy and welcoming stay. While the outdoor space is limited and the road proximity noted, the thoughtful touches and homely feel are appreciated by guests.
Guests consistently commend the cottage for its spotless condition and high standards of cleanliness, with multiple reviews highlighting this aspect positively.
The location receives mixed feedback due to the busy road and parking difficulties. While the village is appreciated, the traffic noise and safety concerns when exiting the driveway are mentioned by several reviewers.
The comfort of the cottage is well-regarded, with mentions of quality beds and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests noted issues with noise from the road and a lack of internal doors, which affected their overall comfort.
Facilities are highly rated, with guests noting the well-equipped kitchen and modern amenities. The maintenance of the cottage is also praised, although the limited outdoor space and challenging parking are drawbacks for some.
While guests appreciate the homely touches and a Christmas tree provided during a festive stay, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures across all stays, and such gifts should not be expected.

Was able to cook a full christmas dinner and they had put up a lovely christmas tree and decorations for us, we had brought our own but didn't need them. Would stay again. Cottage is next to a busy road and can be noisy throughout the day and night with tractors but didn't ruin our stay or sleep. Would stay again.

Nicely updated but still showing features such as beams and a beautiful fireplace and stove. Everything was included for our stay lots of nice touches making it feel very homely. The only downside was the road outside the front of the property which seemed to have lots of traffic spasmodicly, a lot being heavy I.e. lorries and tractors day and night. I realise people need to work but it was the speed of the traffic that made it difficult when trying to sleep. The parking place was made impossible to use because of this so we chose to park down a side road next to the shop. Having said, we could not fault the property, just it's position.

Had everything we needed. Very cosy and comfortable. Modern and up to date kitchen and bathroom. Though it still had that olde world feeling. Wished it had a little bit more outside space to sit out. Although there was parking we decided to leave the car at Brookside Close which was not an issue and just a few minutes walk. Car is a big 4X4 and we were worried about pulling out onto main road as some traffic was pretty fast. That was the only issue. We enjoyed our stay very much. Would definitely stay again.
