Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean and well-presented. However, a few guests mentioned dog hair on the stairs and concerns about the hot tub's water clarity, slightly affecting the score.
Guests love the peacefulness and privacy of the location, though some were disappointed by the proximity to a main road and the lack of local activities. The mixed feedback on the location's suitability for walks and the noise from traffic leads to a good but not excellent score.
While the property's unique features and cleanliness contribute to a comfortable stay, several guests found the furniture and beds to be less comfortable, which impacts the overall comfort score.
The property is praised for its well-equipped kitchen and the addition of a hot tub. However, the hot tub's maintenance issues and the lack of some kitchen items, such as saucepans with lids, slightly lower the score.
The property's thoughtfulness is evident in the detailed welcome pack, dog-friendly amenities, and occasional gifts, which guests found delightful. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

Very well equipped from washing machine to firelighters, would love to return in the winter and make use of the fire. We stayed during a really hot period, whilst there is a fan provided it could with an upgrade, the blades come loose every so often. We also couldn't shut the roof blinds in the bedrooms. Other than that I can't fault it. The recommendations book was really useful to find places to visit. Whilst it's not a busy road there are quite a lot of tractors and hgv's that pass but I took the dog for a walk twice a day down the road and always found the drivers very considerate by slowing down and giving us lots of room. Thank you for a lovely stay, would love to come back x

The property itâs self if stunning and have been lovingly refurbished. However, the furnishings are not great! The couch is cheap and extremely uncomfortable with hard wood in sections of it, and the beds feel like you are on a camping mattress, to have slightly more comfortable couch and bed would make for a much better stay. Secondly the hot tub, I did go back and forth with the owners due to reading reviews about how the hot tub wasnât great and un sanitary. On arrival it looked great, very clean. However, we were left one testing strip to test the hot tub and a small tub with some powder in it, no instructions! We therefore didnât test it and didnât use it after 3 days. If you want people to do the testing of the hot tub you need to provide instructions, more than one test strip and details of what chemicals we are handling. Itâs great that we can test ourselves but more information please. Lastly there were no cleaning products even although it stated in the book to give a general clean up as you would in your own home using the cleaning products provided, one bottle of toilet duck so couldnât use that on the worktops and therefore had to buy cleaning products to use there. As I said property is stunning but it was definitely more of an air b and b than a luxury cottage.
