It is decorated to an exceptional standard, spotlessly clean with a fully equipt kitchen. We did struggle to use the oven without instructions and ended up with grilled pizza which wasn't great but this could easily be overcome if instructions were made available in the welcome pack. Personally, I found the pillows on the bed to be quite flat and had to grab extra off of another bed and my partner found the bath towels to be too small at 6ft. But overall no major issues and we would happily return tomorrow if we could! Thank you for having us.

You can see the attention to detail in every room, from the skylights in the upper bedrooms to maximise the countryside-moonlight, to an abundance of logs and firefighters in the basket ready to welcome you. There is one bathroom which branches off the living area, however we didnât find this to be too much of a fuss and surely is a logistical choice due to the history of the building. The cottage sits on a suburban street however is as quiet as if it were on its own, and is driving distance (10mins) to one of the biggest Tescoâs weâve ever seen, slightly north. The back garden is kept incredibly neat and tidy, with a picnic bench for morning hot drinks and breakfast to be enjoyed as you overlook the forest. The two bedrooms upstairs have double beds and lots of space, and the downstairs single bed is big enough for one guest. All have wardrobes. A few improvements or amendments for suggested future guest experiences: the freezer inside was mostly out of use due to ice build-up. The log burner was full of ash when we arrived, which is just a little inconvenience that we didnât expect after a long drive. The TV is placed awkwardly so it doesnât service the entire rooms furniture; an adjustable wall mount would fix this. Thereâs a lot of pressure to save energy, which is understandable from a personal standpoint and for the environment, however as a paying guest, it doesnât have as much charm. It became apparent, whilst waiting for the heating to kick in, that all of the radiators were set to zero. Again, not the end of the world, but another fiddly task that you donât really want to after a long journey. We were encouraged to tidy up after ourselves and leave the place as we found it, however no materials to do so with, so we had to make do. The same with the washing machine advertised; a simple washing tablet or two for the stay would be a nice touch as guests looking to find a home from home for a weekend. Overall, a building you canât fault in an idyllic location; a few minor changes would elevate the cottage from a 4.9 to a 5/5.
