Guests say
The Old Toll House is a cosy cottage praised for its excellent location and comfortable stay. While some guests enjoyed their time and found the property to meet their needs, others suggested that it requires some tender loving care and a thorough cleaning to address issues such as dampness and odours.
Several reviews mention a need for improved cleanliness, with reports of damp-smelling bedding, stale towels, and a general need for airing out. The property could benefit from a deep clean to enhance the guest experience.
The location of The Old Toll House is consistently praised as great and excellent, serving as a fantastic base for exploring the area, with easy access to local amenities and attractions.
Guests found the cottage comfortable for their stay, mentioning its cosiness and suitability for a 5-day visit. However, some noted that the property felt tired and in need of some care to fully meet comfort expectations.
The facilities received mixed feedback. While the cottage is equipped with necessary amenities, guests reported issues with appliances, garden maintenance, and a lack of clarity regarding refuse disposal. Attention to these details could significantly improve the facilities rating.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored, and guests should not expect additional thoughtful gestures during their stay.

The property itself was lovely - everything that you could need and in an excellent location. Check-in was convenient. However unfortunately the bedding smelt horribly damp, which made for a very unpleasant first night of our stay. It was necessary for me to wash all of the bedding the next day, which wasn’t ideal when I was supposed to be relaxing on holiday. The towels smelt stale and of smoke. The whole property needed a thorough air on arrival, and the carpets could do with a good shampoo - the smell of damp dog was overwhelming. Unfortunately these issues would prevent us from staying at The Old Toll House again.
