Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally described as clean, with only one mention of needing to clean kitchen shelves before use. The positive remarks on cleanliness in the majority of reviews suggest a high standard is maintained.
The location is appreciated for its seclusion and easy access to main routes, making it ideal for exploring the surrounding areas. Some rural traffic noise is mentioned, but it does not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Guests find the property comfortable, with cosy lounges, a log fire, and comfortable beds. The spaciousness and the peaceful garden setting contribute to the comfort level, although there is a minor note about boiler noise.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub. However, there were several comments about the inadequacy of the fridge, which has since been replaced with a larger fridge/freezer. The maintenance of the en suite shower may need attention.
While guests mention a welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine if this is a consistent offering or to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the host. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.

You are in a rural area which is just beautiful in its surroundings and so peaceful. The house was very clean, and the host was attentive via message if there were any questions. There are a few spiders and flies in the area which can sometimes creep into the house (as with any house) so it did make us jump a couple of times so if you have a spider catcher that would be super helpful and also not harming them to put them back outside. Just a small point on the shower in the en suite which was filling up so we had to shower quickly/use the main shower between the 5 of us. Aside from that, really lovely property and there was a sweet welcome package set up for us too. Thank you for a lovely stay!

The location was ideal for touring the area. The cottage was exactly as described. and the hot tub was great! A good size with plenty of jets. There have been previous comments about the fridge, please note: this has been replaced with a generous sized fridge/freezer.

Hot tub was a bonus. The only negative was the fridge which had a small icebox which couldnât be used as the door wouldnât stay closed. In addition when emptying the fridge we noticed that yoghurts which were on the shelf beneath the icebox were warm as was the under side of the icebox. We met the owner on arrival who was friendly and welcoming.
