The only way to leave a review is to first make a booking. That's how we know our reviews come from real guests who have stayed at the property.

After their trip, guests tell us about their stay. We check for naughty words and verify the authenticity of all guest reviews before adding them to our site.

We really enjoyed the location. It is very secluded with lovely views and although the roads leading to the cottage can be somewhat tricky, especially with oncoming traffic, it is still worth it. The cottage itself is very quaint and has a lot of character, particularly the kitchen. Just beware of the low beams, we had a number of sore heads after our 3 days there. The bedrooms were more than adequate and everyone in our party found the beds to be very comfortable. Everything was provided for us, including drinking water, towels, cleaning products, washing powder, etc., even a bottle of wine and a packet of biscuits upon our arrival. The WiFi was good enough for my 3 daughters, although a booster upstairs might be worthwhile as it didn't work very well in 1 or 2 of the rooms. The garden is well kept with a variety of fauna and flora with a lovely stream across the road which can be heard while sitting in the garden.

There are a couple of small items that I feel need to be addressed: 1. After reading a number of reviews, I sent a message to the host prior to our visit asking whether the issues raised in other reviews had been addressed. I was a bit disappointed when I never received a response from the host before or during our stay. 2. Occasionally there was a smell of sewage in the living room. We had a look in the downstairs bathroom but couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. 3. The shower taps in the main en-suite bathroom need servicing or replacement as it was a real struggle to close them to a point where the shower stopped dripping.

The staff were amazing, unfortunately there seemed to be a lack of adequate staffing in the bar in the day which led to glasses, plates etc being left outside on numerous occasions in the day and having to go to the restaurant bar to get drinks. Otherwise the staff couldn’t do anymore for you and we loved it

Breakfast was excellent, team member serving us at breakfast was great and very chatty! In general, the rooms and all other areas were very clean and well maintained.

We thought it was overpriced for what was represented. We did not see the owner of the establishment at anytime during our stay. When checking out, there was no team member present on the reception area, we just left our keys there. It would have been nice to have been offered a pleasant parting comment on our departure from the hotel.
