Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage is consistently described as spotless and very clean, with numerous guests specifically commending its cleanliness. This indicates a high standard maintained by the owners.
The location is praised for its tranquillity, beautiful countryside, and proximity to outdoor activities. The presence of Red Kites and local walks contribute to the positive feedback, although a few guests noted the lack of mobile signal and the need to drive for certain amenities.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, with a snug log burner mentioned positively. However, some guests noted the sofas were a bit low and the beds could be uncomfortable for their preference, slightly affecting the score.
The cottage is well-equipped with a kitchen, wet room, and smart TVs. Guests appreciate the enclosed garden for dogs. Some guests mentioned the lack of guidance for appliance use and suggested the addition of fans, which indicates room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests mention a welcome bottle of wine and the makings for tea, there are not enough references to gifts or additional thoughtful touches to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary per stay.

Well equipped for any cooking and laundry needs. Refreshingly uncluttered. Probably the best heating system ever. Such a cosy warm house. Just what you need after being soaked to the skin. Fabulous walking in the area. Perfect for walkers with fur babies.
