Guests say
Pigeon Coo Farmhouse is a charming, spacious cottage set in a peaceful, rural location ideal for countryside escapes. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, good showers, and the beautiful garden. The property's character and setting are highlights, with easy access to local walks and a welcoming atmosphere for families and pets.
Cleanliness is a concern, with reports of unclean conditions upon arrival, presence of mice, and unemptied bins. These issues suggest a need for more thorough cleaning and maintenance.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, beautiful walks, and proximity to nature. The remote setting is ideal for a peaceful retreat, although the unmade track access may be a consideration for some.
Comfort is generally good, with comfortable beds and a spacious garden mentioned. However, some guests noted issues with creaky beds and a small fridge for larger groups.
Facilities require attention, with a dated kitchen, broken appliances, and maintenance issues like loose toilet seats and non-working lights. An upgrade and repair of facilities would enhance the experience.
While guests have mentioned a welcome basket, there is insufficient information to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the host. As such, it cannot be guaranteed that such gestures are a consistent offering.

Lovely spacious place to stay! The woodland surrounding are beautiful and it makes it a very peaceful place to stay. The accomodation worked well for our group and we really enjoyed our stay!

As mentioned in previous reviews the kitchen has a few issues, only 7 mugs. Dishwasher did not clean, we resorted to hand washing all our dishes, not a big problem for four adults. Kitchen would benefit from being updated, with a larger fridge.Yes the Staircase was a tad bit difficult, not only steep but slopes to the right, and no it wasn't due to the wine!! We managed but had to take it very steadily. Road to cottage was a single unmade track, rather pot holed in places, quite a bone shaker. A very quirky cottage in a lovely peaceful setting, loved the garden, lots of walks, dogs had a great time. Unfortunately not really suitable for four young at heart elderly ladies, but we did enjoy our stay. So regret will probably not return to the cottage.

The cottage is situated in a remote area with beautiful walks on the doorstep. Great space for large families with kids and dogs. I think the property could benefit from a larger fridge for big groups.
