Guests say
Squirrel Cottage is consistently praised for its cosy charm, tasteful decoration, and excellent facilities, including a private hot tub and underfloor heating. It serves as a fantastic base for exploring the local area, with convenient access to walks, pubs, and transport links. The snug with skylights and the monsoon shower are particular highlights. While parking can be tight and privacy in the garden may be a concern for some, guests are overall delighted with their stays and often express a desire to return.
Guests have highlighted the cottage's spotless condition, indicating a high level of cleanliness that contributes to the overall comfort and appeal of the property.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to beautiful walks, local amenities, and ease of access to nearby cities, making it an ideal spot for both relaxation and exploration.
The comfort of Squirrel Cottage is well-received, with mentions of cosy spaces and comfortable beds. However, one review mentioned the property being uncomfortably cold, slightly impacting the score.
Facilities like the hot tub, monsoon shower, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently praised. The snug and open-plan design are also appreciated, though a suggestion for a lounge table and a comment on the hot tub's temperature suggest minor room for improvement.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to score this category.

What a beautiful, cozy little cottage! 😍 It is perfect all year round, fantastic little summer retreat for those summer walks and beer garden adventures but also for winter walks and cosying up in the snug at the top of the cottage for those chillier months. We loved every minute of our 4 night stay here and we were very sad to leave. The monsoon shower, the snug with the skylights and the under floor heating in the kitchen were some of our favourite parts!😍 The private hot tub is a perfect addition for relaxing in the evening after a long walk.We can not wait to come back, we are already looking at dates for next year! 🎉

A lovely cottage, in a great location. The cottage has been very tastefully decorated, and makes great use of all of the space available. It was spotlessly clean, and the beds are very comfortable. The hot tub is a fantastic addition. There are some beautiful walks, right on the doorstep, and The Commercial pub does amazing food, and dogs are welcome in there. There are plenty of pubs within a short walk, we will definitely be returning.
