Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as clean and tidy, with several reviews highlighting its cleanliness. The property appears to be well-maintained, contributing to the high score in this category.
The location is frequently praised for being quiet and peaceful, with easy access to local attractions and a welcoming pub opposite. The cottage's position in a charming village enhances its appeal.
Comfort is a strong point for Boo Cottage, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the log burner. However, a few guests suggested improvements such as handrails in the bath and a power shower.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, but some guests have made suggestions for improvements such as better shower facilities, an extractor fan in the bathroom, and clearer instructions for the heating system. These minor issues slightly lower the score.
While guests welcomed thoughtful touches like fudge and milk on arrival, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent or guaranteed. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such gifts, while appreciated, are not assured.

Had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Be aware, bathroom is downstairs. Path very slippy near gate when wet, probably needs a jet wash but we did get a 'wet weather' forecast during our week. Lovely friendly pub opposite and nice walking area too. Plenty to do and explore, a week wasn't long enough.
