    Very small and picky, we couldn't find any kitchen knives to prepare/cut food. There was cutlery but not preparing knives

    Exceptional cottage, so clean and very quite.

    Nothing really, maybe could have done with another kitchen knife and a microwave proof bowl. Very minor inconveniences.

    There was nothing really we didn't like. It was a really lovely, friendly experience overall.

    The owner of the property, Katie, was very friendly and introduced us to her pony Jack and sheep Gary. She showed us some nearby trails to walk if we fancied exploring, which we certainly did. Beautiful area and lovely spaces for country walks. There was a small delay when we arrived and the place wasn't quite ready, however this was no issue to us as the owner was very apologetic and entertained us in the meantime. Her partner also brought us a lovely bottle of wine as an apology. So, nothing affected our trip negatively.

    Having to check out!

    The cottage is beautiful inside and out. The decor which incorporates fresh new plaster with the original timbers and stone work is just perfect. The facilities are all fantastic with everything you need for a comfortable stay Bed is ultra comfortable. I never sleep amazingly when on a business trip but last night was exceptional! Everything has been really well thought out, plug sockets have been installed next to the couch, WiFi works well and the smart TV with on demand services available was fab. Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom was a nice addition too. Who doesn't love a showeroke session! Easy to find, great parking, quiet location, warm, meticulously clean & comfortable. Thank you for a great stay. I'll look forward to coming back soon!

    Only recommendations would be to have a different duvet cover than a fluffy one. I have allergies and this type of material irritates them, it’s also really warm to sleep in! Maybe a couple of tea/coffee/milk sachets near the kettle and little body wash in the bathroom would really help and would reflect other Airbnbs at this price range :)

    The property was stunning, better than the photos! super comfy bed, warm and everything was new and clean. It’s so quiet in the area you couldn’t hear a pin drop at night. Really relaxing! Hosts were really helpful and left us some treats thankyou so much. All round easy and lovely stay and would love to return here!
