Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of reviews highlight the property's cleanliness, with guests consistently noting the cottage was very clean upon arrival. One review mentioned a lack of certain cleaning items, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is frequently described as lovely, with a peaceful village that has good pubs and shops. The proximity to local attractions and the countryside is also appreciated. A few guests mentioned low doorways as a minor inconvenience.
Guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, particularly praising the beds and the wood burner. However, one review mentioned the property being a bit cold due to stone floors and wooden floorboards, slightly impacting the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and a spacious shower. Some guests suggested improvements such as the addition of a washing machine and better instructions for waste disposal. The mention of a games room that was not present suggests some inaccuracies in the listing.
Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches provided by the owner, such as welcome hampers and decorations. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
