Snaptrip says
Meadow View is a well-received cottage in Warwickshire, praised for its idyllic location, cleanliness, and the thoughtful touches provided by the host. Guests enjoyed the picturesque views, local walks, and the welcoming atmosphere for both themselves and their pets. Some concerns were raised about the comfort of the seating and the size of the TV, but the responsive host and the cottage's charm outweighed these minor issues.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally received positive remarks about its cleanliness, with guests finding it well-maintained. However, there was an isolated incident involving a previous pet's presence, which suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, beautiful views, and proximity to local attractions and walks. It is considered ideal for exploring the Cotswolds and nearby historic villages.
While the cottage is described as cosy and the bed as comfortable, several guests found the lounge seating to be very uncomfortable. The comfort of the seating area is a notable concern.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and a responsive host who addresses issues promptly. However, the lack of a freezer (initially) and small TV were drawbacks for some guests.
Guests appreciated the welcome pack and the provision of items for pets, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

It was welcoming, with everything we needed for our stay. The village of Farnborough is very picturesque and we would love to return in Spring/Summer, to explore the village and surrounding area.

Just a few things could do with some attention; The sofa and two chairs need replacing, very hard and uncomfortable. Bed could do with a new mattress as could hear and feel the springs every time we turned over. An empty cupboard for food shopping would be a bonus. Some guidance about putting bins out would be good as it is a terraced property so didnât want to bring bins out through the property. TV is to small. Tea/coffee/sugar would have been a nice touch. Off road parking was not ideal, some days having to park too far away from property in our opinion. Having made these comments the cost does reflect these issues to a degree.

Bathroom mirror is out of alignment with the sink, so not easy for wet shaving. Also, a bit of a stretch to include photos of the lake, as it is some distance away. Kitchen cupboard space is a bit limited but only because there is so much crockery and so many glasses. Nice of the owner to leave some 'goodies', All in all, we had a good stay in spite of the points made above.
