While there are mentions of a sewage issue and a vermin problem in one review, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, one review mentioned a sewage problem and a mould smell in the downstairs bathroom, as well as a vermin issue, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently described as beautiful and peaceful, with superb views and good proximity to local attractions. It is ideal for those seeking tranquillity and natural beauty.
The majority of guests found the beds very comfortable and the living spaces cosy. One review noted the sofa bed was not particularly comfortable to sit on, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and smart bathroom. However, there were issues with heating and flat batteries in torches during a power outage, indicating some maintenance concerns.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to score this category.

A lovely cottage in a splendid location. The views are ever changing and beautiful. The sofa bed in lounge is not particularly comfortable to sit on but everything else is good (heating was a bit eccentric but sorted it with advice from the very helpful owner). Really well equipped (nothing lacking at all in kitchen or around the house). Only exception was we needed the torches when storm Amy hit and the power went off but the batteries were flat. The emergency light upstairs is well placed and gave temporary help. Will definitely want to stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Ashburn cottage. The cottage was extremely well equipped and very comfortable (super comfy bed) and the views were just superb! It was very peaceful but still well placed for exploring the beautiful surrounding area and perfect for stargazing. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend this cottage.
