Guests say
Paws in the Pines offers a peaceful, secluded retreat with a cosy log burner and a well-equipped kitchen, making it ideal for those seeking tranquillity and relaxation. Guests appreciate the quiet rural setting, enclosed garden, and opportunities for countryside walks. While some found the property warm and inviting, others noted issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and heating, particularly in colder months. The hot tub is a highlight, though it requires time to heat. Dog owners should note that access to the surrounding woodland is restricted. Overall, the cottage provides a charming escape with room for improvement in comfort and upkeep.
Several guests reported issues such as stained carpets, dirty kitchenware, unclean bathrooms, and leftover dog mess in the garden. While a few found the property reasonably clean, the majority highlighted concerns that impacted their stay.
The cottage is praised for its peaceful, rural location and seclusion, ideal for relaxation. However, some guests were disappointed by the lack of direct access to woodland walks and found the property difficult to locate, especially at night.
Guests enjoyed the cosy log burner and quiet atmosphere, but many found the property cold, especially upstairs and in the bathroom. Some mentioned uncomfortable beds and sofas, while others found the cottage warm and comfortable.
The property features a log burner, hot tub, and a well-equipped kitchen, but lacks a freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. Maintenance issues such as slow drainage, missing bulbs, and tired furnishings were noted. The hot tub is popular but takes time to heat.
Guests frequently mentioned the absence of welcome packs, dog treats, or thoughtful extras. While some appreciated the provision of logs and games, these are not guaranteed and several guests felt the property could be more welcoming, especially for dogs.

Unfortunately, the house is very cold, we had to buy a heater to keep warm, there is a beautiful log burner, but the additional cost of the logs to keep warm in my opinion would have been to much, as you would have needed alot to keep warm and as the hot tub needs wood too, we didnt use the hot tub at all. KItchen lovely, but cups stained, frying pan and pans dirty and very very used, sink stained with tea, toaster had crumbs, cream carpets stained with god knows what!!!...I could go on. Garden had alot of dog excrement on it, which as a dog owner with three dogs I find totally disgusting and unacceptable we also woke up to what I suspect as one of the owners dogs excrement next to our car. Hot tub had dental flossing sticks on the floor and rubbish around the back of the decking. If we hadn't of driven 6 hours to get there and waited 6 months for this holiday we probably would have left an hour after we arrived. Called the owner didn't answer about arriving early sent a text about the heating he said the underfloor heating works ( in fairness we don't have it at home but we have been to places with it and it was warm, not sure in my opinion, this should be the only source of heat, the log burner needs alot of wood to heat the open plan, this is in March and it was mild so in the colder months it would have been freezing). The positives - beautiful surroundings so woke up to the birds singing, great bed. As per the welcome book (which also needs replacing) the grounds look beautiful, but due to a/some visitor's spoiling it, you are unable to venture out of the enclosed garden which is a shame.In my opinion, the owners are missing a trick here, as I say with a few cleanliness tweaks and possibly DIY issues being sorted, this could be a gem of a holiday but it was alot of money for this time of year and a long trek for us to be disapointed the owners have not taken on board the previous comments and complaints of other guests in the reviews. I have taken photos if the owner disputes our comments.

Lovely peaceful retreat. Dogs and us enjoyed our time there. Personally would have preferred king size bed or a thicker mattress as it was a little hard but that is just our personal preference. This doesn’t affect the lovely peaceful retreat. We had read reviews about it being cold, however we do not agree it was lovely and warm didn’t even use the log burner at all.
