Guests say

Mary Rose Cottage is praised for its authentic old-world charm, cosy atmosphere, and warm welcome. Guests appreciate the rustic feel, the hot tub, and the peaceful gardens. The caretakers receive commendations for their fantastic support. However, there was an isolated incident of a faulty cooker that was not addressed, which affected one guest's experience.

Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.

There are no specific reviews referencing the location, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

The cottage is repeatedly referred to as cosy and relaxing, suggesting a high level of comfort. The presence of a hot tub also contributes to this perception.

Facilities are generally praised, including the kitchen and the hot tub. However, the report of a faulty cooker, which was a significant inconvenience for a guest, lowers the score in this category.

Guests mention receiving fruit and fresh bread, which is a thoughtful touch. However, as such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay, they should be considered a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

    We have been there several times and always look forward to returning. A very unique kind of place.

  • Elissa

    The owner has completely ignored any requests to address this and support our continued stay, despite assurances and reassurance from Sykes that they would. Left us very dissapointed and let down. Happy to take the money and run. If you intend to book this cottage and intend to cook, make sure this has been rectified first before you book. This could all have been avoided.
