Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the sparkling clean condition of the property, highlighting its well-maintained state and the care taken to ensure a hygienic environment.
The property is celebrated for its beautiful, rural setting and ideal location for walkers, with easy access to local pubs and amenities. Some guests note the lack of private footpaths and the muddy access road as minor drawbacks.
Guests find the property comfortable, particularly praising the huge, luxurious bed and cosy atmosphere. A few guests mention the chairs could be more comfortable, but this is a personal preference.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen utensils and appliances, though some guests suggest additional crockery and a glass bowl for the microwave. The mention of building work and a shared garden suggests some room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While guests express gratitude for the host's helpfulness and the property's well-thought-out amenities, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

It was a bright, clean property offering everything I needed. I particularly appreciated the outlook across fields and hills which was stunning. I enjoyed a week full of walking and exploring the area and much appreciated the food in the two excellent pubs in Little Stretton. There is still so much to see and I hope to return.
