Guests say
This charming and quirky cottage offers a peaceful retreat with spacious accommodation, beautiful woodwork, and lovely enclosed gardens, making it ideal for families and dog owners. Guests appreciated the tranquil location, ample parking, and thoughtful touches throughout the house. While the property is well-equipped and close to many attractions, some guests noted areas for improvement in cleanliness and comfort, particularly with the sofas and some furniture. Overall, it provides a delightful base for exploring the area and enjoying quality time together.
Several guests mentioned that the property was generally clean, with fresh-smelling bathrooms and tidy spaces. However, multiple reviews highlighted issues such as dusty bedrooms, cobwebs, and a dirty cutlery drawer, as well as some mould in the shower. These mixed comments suggest that while the property is usually presentable, there is room for improvement in deep cleaning.
The location is frequently praised for its peace, quiet, and proximity to local attractions and walks. Guests enjoyed the tranquil setting and found plenty to do in the area, though a car is necessary for convenience. The only minor drawback mentioned was the distance and accessibility of the local pub.
Guests found the beds very comfortable and appreciated the spaciousness of the property. However, several reviews noted that the sofas and some chairs were hard or uncomfortable, which affected relaxation in the evenings. Overall, sleeping comfort is high, but lounge comfort could be improved.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a spacious kitchen, three bathrooms, enclosed gardens, and games for families. Some maintenance issues were noted, such as an old shower door and worn chairs, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as treats for both humans and dogs, as well as helpful information about local attractions. Please note that these gifts and extras are not guaranteed for every stay.

The barn was lovely, cleaning could have been better and the furniture was very hard and uncomfortable.. in a lovely location and plenty of room.

We loved the space the barn afforded us and the games were a welcome distraction when the adults needed some down time!We enjoyed the garden - particularly Nanna who won at boules for the first time ever!! ( It could have been something to do with the divots in the grass!!)The distance to the supermarkets wasn't really an issue as we picked up shopping while we were out.We were a bit disappointed at the level of cleanliness there were quite a few cobwebs and some bits of mould in the shower BUT it was towards the end of the season and I suppose it might be expected.Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and Jayne and Richard were super accomodating hosts.
