Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property to be clean and comfortable. However, one review mentioned the kitchen equipment and some areas needed dusting, suggesting room for improvement in cleanliness.
The location is consistently described as peaceful, rural, and stunning, with easy access to Hungerford and the M4. The surrounding estate and countryside offer lovely views and walks.
Guests are very satisfied with the comfort of the property, mentioning cosy spaces, good-sized bedrooms, and comfortable beds. The lounge size was perfect for one group, indicating a cosy and comfortable setting.
The facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good showers. However, the absence of a microwave and clarity on pet restrictions in the cottage pack suggest some attention to detail is needed in facilities and maintenance.
While guests have not explicitly mentioned gifts, they have noted the provision of items such as toys for children and equipment for toddlers, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as there is no direct reference to gifts, a score cannot be provided, and it should be noted that such extras are not guaranteed.
About this property
Gardeners Cottage is a light and airy, detached home settled on the outskirts of the historic town of Hungerford in West Berkshire. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and enjoying views from the garden, this contemporary, three-bedroom house is perfect for a family or friends looking to explore this scenic region. Be greeted by off-road parking before entering the hallway, where to our left you can house your wet boots and jackets in the boot room. There is a spacious kitchen/diner featuring an island, where you can sip a glass of wine as someone makes use of the range cooker to prepare a home-cooked meal. At the far end of the room is a dining table to savour mealtimes together or on a summer's evening, why not have an alfresco affair on the large lawn? The garden offers furniture for you to unwind as you admire the uninterrupted countryside views. As the night draws in, retire inside to the sitting room, hosting two plush sofas and a Smart TV for some downtime. When eyes tire, head upstairs to the first floor, where you will find three bedrooms with sultry décor, a super-king-size, a king-size and a double. Prepare for the day ahead in either the bathroom with a roll top bath and walk-in shower or the sleek shower room. For a charming stay in the countryside of Berkshire, choose Gardeners Cottage.

The house itself was extremely well presented with good quality linen and equipment, with the bonus of wonderful artwork. Outside the grounds were stunning, we enjoyed seeing the horses and all sorts of other wildlife. It was good value and I would definitely recommend it.

It was Very homely and comfortable with everything we needed, as a large family of six it was very spacious and the children really enjoyed exploring outside. We met the manager Vicki who was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this property.

Not that suitable for young children (hard, slippy floors, naked artwork which raised lots of questions lol) and vegetarians/animal lovers be warned, some of the sculptures may not be to your liking! Property was warm, clean and comfortable though so would definitely recommend.
