Guests say

The Cross Wing at High Ash Farm is a well-received cottage, praised for its cosy lounge with a log fire, quirky character, and well-equipped kitchen. Its location is appreciated for being peaceful and ideal for exploring the coast and countryside, despite some traffic noise. The garden is a highlight, offering privacy and enjoyment for both guests and pets.

Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable. However, one review mentioned an issue with flies and an unpleasant odour in the kitchen, which suggests a possible temporary lapse in cleanliness.

The cottage is situated in a fantastic location for exploring the surrounding area, with easy access to beaches and historic villages. Some guests noted traffic noise, but it did not significantly detract from the overall experience.

Guests have described the cottage as cosy, quirky, and very comfortable, with a special mention of the inglenook fireplace. The steep stairs and low door frame were noted, but these did not detract from the comfort for most guests.

The property is well-equipped with a Nespresso machine and other amenities, though some guests missed having a washing machine and a broom. The quick response to a hot water issue shows good maintenance support.

There is no mention of gifts or special amenities that would indicate extra thoughtfulness from the management. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category based on the reviews provided.

    Also the sign for the cottage at the roadside is very difficult to see.

  • Sarah

    The garden was so nice to sit in and felt really private. There is quite a lot of traffic noise at times, but it didn’t trouble us at all. Just something for others to be aware of when booking.
