Very nice and quiet place. The host is really helpful and you can have full privacy. Morning view with squirrels and birds just what you need for a recharging holiday.

The summer house is in the best and most private place you could ask for, really pretty surrounding so 10/10 for area and surroundings. However the cottage was smaller than I thought it would be however the hot tub and views made up for it. The cottage itself is cute however it is very very dated and the bathroom was not entirely clean, did find a few hairs on the floor and in the shower. The heaters provided are cheap electrical ones which did consume a lot of electricity, considering you have to pay for the electric via coins in the meter was not ideal. Also two out of the four heaters worked only which was inconvenient. I had read reviews previously about complaints about the bed mattress and the owner replied that they had changed it after feedback. I can say that the mattress was awful and very uncomfortable for me and my wife which ruined the quality of sleep. The other little things such as NO coffee or tea, washing up liquid or pods and the towels provided did smell a little damp. Also the TV was a basic non smart TV which should also be taken into consideration as this should be basic requirement in 2025.Overall the hosts are good and have us our privacy and the area of the cottage are fantastic, however I would not recommend it for the reason that it didn't feel the place was personalised for guests to get settled straight away, had to go Sainsbury's to get washing up items.
