Guests say
Moorhouse Farm Cottage is a cosy and peaceful retreat, ideal for those seeking tranquillity and a homely atmosphere. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, warm welcome from the owner, and the pet-friendly garden. The cottage's location offers beautiful scenery and country walks, perfect for a relaxing stay. Some minor issues with water pressure and temperature were noted.
The cottage is described as very clean by guests, with one mentioning spotless bedrooms. However, there was a concern about uncut grass potentially hiding dog mess, slightly affecting the score.
The location is praised for its tranquillity, beautiful scenery, and access to country walks, making it a peaceful and quiet retreat.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with very comfortable beds and a relaxing garden. However, one guest mentioned the cottage being very cold in late November, which impacts the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and spacious rooms. However, issues with hot water pressure, a strong sulphurous taste in the tap water, and the absence of an upstairs toilet affect the score.
While guests have had pleasant interactions with the host, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

Hot water presure inadequate. Couldnt get a hot shower so had to do standup wash. Since we were there in late November, the cottage was very cold. The apple tree had some super apples and we took some home! Thank you.
