Guests say
Forget Me Not Cottage is a charming, characterful retreat in a tranquil, rural setting, perfect for those seeking peace and a taste of the countryside. Guests praise its cosy, homely atmosphere, well-equipped kitchen, and spacious bedrooms. The friendly owner is often mentioned for her warm welcome. While the cottage’s remote location offers stunning views and starry skies, a car is essential for access to shops and attractions. Some guests note the presence of cobwebs and a musty smell, but overall, the cottage is appreciated for its unique charm and relaxing environment.
Several guests mention cobwebs, dust, and occasional dead flies, which are somewhat expected in an older rural property, though a few felt a deeper clean was needed. Others found the cottage clean and cosy, with particular praise for the spotless oven and fluffy towels.
The cottage’s remote, peaceful location is highly valued, offering beautiful countryside views and tranquillity. Its isolation means a car is necessary, with shops and pubs a drive away, but guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions and the unique rural experience.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as cosy, warm, and homely, with comfortable beds, a spacious layout, and a secure garden. The peaceful setting and thoughtful touches contribute to a relaxing stay, though uneven floors and the rural setting may not suit everyone.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a full kitchen, good WiFi, games, and a log burner. Guests appreciate the range of amenities, including a hairdryer, heated towel rail, and secure garden. Some minor maintenance issues, such as musty smells, are noted but do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Many guests mention the owner’s friendliness and thoughtful gestures, such as Welsh cakes, eggs, and drinks on arrival. While these gifts are appreciated, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely place for a few days get away. A little dusty and cobwebby in places, it is an old place so some should be expected. Wood burner lit upon arrival was a treat!
