  Firstly, thank you we had a fantastic week in the cottage.

  We were so lucky with the weather and the outdoor space and play areas were brilliant for the grandchildren. The cottage itself was beautiful and the decor was lovely. The only negatives were that we couldn't turn the lights off at the bottom of the stairs, none of the light switches would turn it off. When we arrived we found a single half a bread stick in the fridge along with a half bottle of water that had been drunk from. When one of our party reclined the sofa the footrest was ingrained with crumbs and debris in the creases and there was a large shard of glass underneath from a broken glass. The final thing was that it should be mentioned about the proximity to a busy road as this can be heard through the night if you need the windows to be open and is constant traffic throughout the day making it difficult to get out from the driveway due to it being on a bend. As previous guests also mentioned the ground floor shower room does flood so we only used that once and then used the upstairs bathrooms. This is just a couple of negatives to let you know about but this didn't impact on our stay at all and 2 Dewars Farm Cottage is a beautiful property.

  The property and grounds are large and spacious and ideal for up to eight people plus a dog.

  Beds are very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The garden has lots to do and the jacuzzi / hot tub is brilliant fun and was a good temperature when we arrived (32C). Lots of nice towels and good quality bedding. The ground floor shower room / toilet was very handy and the washing machine and tumble dryer very good quality. However, there are some problems. The oil fired boiler 'trips' and needs to be reset at least once a day (probably needs a service) and the only indicator is the temperature dropping or no hot water. Some consumable products like liquid soap, dishwasher tabs, washing detergent are minimally provided, so guests need to bring their own or go shopping. The chemicals in the hot tub seemed a little 'strong' on the skin and evaporating in the air. The ground floor shower cubicle leaked quite a bit so needed moping after use. Barely enough cutlery when eating in. Overall we had a great family weekend and would recommend this holiday cottage and would return again.

  Great house in a lovely area.

  Three generations of our family had a lovely time enjoying the house garden and hot tub. Garden enclosed so we felt reasonably safe leaving our medium sized dog to roam the garden freely, but you are close to a fast road so need some caution. Plenty of kitchen equipment, comfortable beds etc. The hot water was a bit hit and miss but we found the extra hour on the system worked well. Totally flooded the downstairs shower room one day (which went in to the kitchen) but owners are trying to sort the problem, when we contacted them. Would recommend you only have 1 shower and leave plenty of time before using it again. 2 other showers upstairs, so not an issue. Overall a great house which we would recommend.

  Great cottage.

  Very clean and comfortable. Lovely furnishings and great outside space. A shame there isn’t more seating in the living room to accommodate all the people staying. Sofa seats 3-4 with one additional chair. There were 7 of us staying so some had to sit on the floor for the evening. Only problem we had was with the downstairs bathroom. The floor is uneven so during showering all the water ran under the toilet and sat in a big puddle and some went under the kitchen floor. All necessary tools where there for us to clear up but it’s worth putting a sign up so people know! We didn’t use this bathroom for the rest of the stay so it didn’t flood again.

  1. Hot tub had slimy scum/dirt at water line on walls of hot tub after first use.

  2. Had to pick up 5 dog dirt piles that had been there for sometime and then hose the patio to clear dog dirt marks. 3. Kettle is useless - took me 5 minutes to get he led display to work. 4. Cutlery and crockery had food marks on some of them. Had to wash everything before use. 5. House was riddled with cobwebs and spiders. Took 10 minutes to hover all up - this should have been done before our arrival - freaked the children out.
