Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as very clean and well-maintained, with guests expressing satisfaction with the level of cleanliness.
The location is appreciated for its beauty and proximity to local attractions, though there is a mention of noise during race events which may affect some guests.
The cottages are frequently described as cosy and comfortable, with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere, although one review mentioned gaps around doors leading to cold drafts.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and cosy setting. However, there were minor issues with the dishwasher and a wonky sofa that slightly impacted the score.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.

Has everything you need available. However when we arrive the large sofa was a bit wonky, turns out the legs are very loose and skew, I tried the straighten them but it didnât help, I text Sarah the number given on the sheet to notify, but donât know if she got the text as I never got a response

Also no instructions about stripping beds/ towels in bath etc. usually there are instructions. The dishwasher was completely unusable as the washing machine which is integrated has obviously moved out and completely blocks the dishwasher( one. Way of keeping it pristine I suppose !) anyway only small niggles otherwise a beautiful rural setting with just the sheep for company. Bliss. How quiet it would be on race day, might be another matter, still very interested in history of the place. Might have been nice to have instructions of how to reach nearest pub , we did find â The New Innâ and had a very nice meal, but had to ask a dog walker for directions. There again small things but you asked for feedback
