Everything within The Roost was great. Beds so comfortable and beautiful linen to. Living room really cute and the kitchen had everything, so much crockery, pans, etc for cooking. Waitrose for shopping not far away and Stratford Garden Centre is fab to, food in Cafe is excellent. A definite on the list for a return visit. Follow the owners directions for how to locate The Roost. They do work, albeit I didn't quite get there in the dark.

We were very disappointed with this cottage, it seemed very dated and very tired as though the host had given up on them. There was no welcome pack not even a small bottle of milk in the fridge. The property states it has a washing machine and freezer unfortunately these were in another building not in the cottage this needs to be changed in the listing. The whole place was run down on the outside and the gardens not well kept at all. The wooden furniture in the living room was very worn and marked the sofas very uncomfortable all need replacing. Another guest in the cottage next door who also booked through you were very disappointed with their cottage too. I have used your services for many years and always been pleased and the properties have always been as listed but sadly this one let your company down and if it had been my first experience with your company I would be very dubious about booking through you again but I know from experience your properties are usually of a high standard sadly this one did your company no favours at all. It was clean enough inside I suppose I can say that and the beds were comfortable, the bathroom and kitchen were ok and it was close to town but that's about all I can say that's positive about this property. As I say I feel the owner has given up on these properties. Their are two new properties that are being done so maybe the one I stayed in is going to be renovated and brought up to date as they don't look to have been maintained especially on the outside for a considerable length of time. As I say a very disappointing property that I feel let's your company down and your reputation for good quality well maintained properties.

Very clean and comfortable. Our kids loved the box of toys in the shared utility room. We would book again. There is another holiday let next door which wasn't mentioned when booking.
