Guests say
Ashburn Cottage is praised for its splendid location, stunning views, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and the provision of a travel cot and high chair. Despite some issues with a sofa bed, heating, and a sewage smell in one review, the overall experience is positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most reviews indicate a clean and comfortable environment. However, one review mentioned a mould smell and vermin, suggesting a possible isolated incident affecting the cleanliness score.
The location is consistently described as beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for exploring the surrounding area. The views are highly praised, contributing to a high score for location.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage cosy, although one review notes the sofa bed as uncomfortable. Overall, the comfort level is high.
The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and provides emergency lighting. However, issues with heating and flat batteries in torches during a storm suggest some maintenance concerns.
While the provision of a travel cot and high chair is thoughtful, there are no mentions of gifts or additional thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

A lovely cottage in a splendid location. The views are ever changing and beautiful. The sofa bed in lounge is not particularly comfortable to sit on but everything else is good (heating was a bit eccentric but sorted it with advice from the very helpful owner). Really well equipped (nothing lacking at all in kitchen or around the house). Only exception was we needed the torches when storm Amy hit and the power went off but the batteries were flat. The emergency light upstairs is well placed and gave temporary help. Will definitely want to stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Ashburn cottage. The cottage was extremely well equipped and very comfortable (super comfy bed) and the views were just superb! It was very peaceful but still well placed for exploring the beautiful surrounding area and perfect for stargazing. We would not hesitate to return and highly recommend this cottage.
