Guests say
Hall Cottage is a charming property with stunning landscaped grounds, an ornamental lake, and an adjacent ancient church, offering a peaceful and picturesque setting. Guests have praised its beautiful location and the unique experience of having the grounds to themselves in the evening. The cottage is well-equipped and provides a cosy and special stay, particularly for those attending weddings at Oxnead Hall.
While the location and history of Hall Cottage are appreciated, some guests have noted issues with cleanliness, including dust, stains, and left-behind cleaning cloths, which detracted from the overall experience.
The cottage is situated in a beautiful and convenient location, especially for guests attending events at Oxnead Hall. The serene surroundings and picturesque views are consistently highlighted as a highlight of the stay.
The cottage offers a cosy and peaceful stay, but there are comments about hard and springy mattresses and a wobbly staircase, which may affect the comfort level for some guests.
The property is described as well-equipped and modern downstairs. However, the lack of curtains downstairs and a wobbly staircase suggest some areas for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness in the hospitality, so it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

We stayed at Hall Cottage for our wedding at Oxnead Hall so the location was perfect for what we needed it for.However, the cleanliness was not up to standard for the premium price we paid, there was visible dust in the radiators, cleaning cloths left in the shower, stains down the toilet and on the ceilings and the mattresses were hard and springy. The view was lovely from the cottage, however at night time there are no curtains downstairs so you feel that anyone could come and look through. The lawn mower was also cutting the grass throughout the night and kept shining its lights into the bedrooms. Overall the history and location was lovely and it was decorated to a modern standard downstairs, although the price was too high in our opinion. The spiral stair case was also wobbly as you go up therefore one of our guests was unable to stay the night.
