Guests say

Oddwell Cottage is a charming, spacious and characterful retreat, offering a peaceful and secluded setting ideal for relaxation. Guests praise its well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and beautiful garden, making it perfect for families and dog owners. The cottage’s historic features and tranquil location are frequently highlighted. While some guests noted minor issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many appreciating the thoughtful touches and excellent communication from the hosts.

Several guests found the cottage generally clean, but some noted areas missed by the cleaner, such as dust, hair, and a smelly dishwasher filter. Cleanliness was not always at a professional standard, but most found it acceptable for a comfortable stay.

The cottage’s secluded, peaceful location is highly praised, with guests enjoying the tranquillity and rural charm. The remoteness is a positive for most, though some mention the lack of nearby shops and narrow country lanes.

Guests consistently mention the cottage’s spaciousness, comfortable beds, and relaxing atmosphere. The house remains cool in hot weather and is warm without heating. Some found the upstairs toilet access tricky, but overall comfort is rated highly.

The cottage is well equipped, with quality kitchenware, underfloor heating, WiFi, and a secure garden. Minor suggestions for improvement include additional cleaning supplies and a few kitchen items. Some maintenance issues, such as creaky floorboards and a non-working sensor light, were noted.

Guests appreciated welcome packs with tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits on arrival, though these are not guaranteed. Communication from the hosts was excellent, and information provided was clear and helpful.

    A delightful cottage, tastefully appointed and well equipped. It was very quiet and peaceful, and we really enjoyed our break. Thank you.

    Fantastic cottage. We got an amazing deal through Cottages.com and feared the worst, but it was actually amazing. Completely secluded and quiet (hence not easy to find down some small country roads). Completely enclosed and large garden, perfect for our dogs. Fully fitted out with everything you need, including good WiFi! Large rooms, and was plenty for 2 of us and 2 dogs. But would very easily accommodate a family with kids.
