"Love this place and will continue to come here for years to come."

9.0

Very coazy family style houses and has a very natural feel to it, with the forest air and beautiful greenery. Absolutely love being able to see the stars and the scenery of the area.

Couldn't pick up the Wi-Fi if there is any. My previous stay had firelighters and wood, this time the wood was wet and no fire starter, not really complaining about it because there were heavy rains hours before I arrived, so it makes sense why the wood was wet.

"Very disappointing, overpriced and definitely not value for money."

3.0

Location is fabulous and the shampoo and soaps etc good quality

I was disappointed with the condition of the cottage. There was mould in the showers, a missing glass from the bathroom, an unwashed coffee cup in the cupboard, and a warped, unsightly warped bathroom mirror frame. The toaster was cheap and burnt the toast, and the duvet inner was bulky, uncomfortable, and poor quality. The garden path to the kitchen door was untidy, and the lack of burglar bars meant I couldn’t sleep with the windows open. My heart sank the moment I saw the neglected entrance. If this is rated 4 stars, it’s overrated — for the same price, The Edge would have been a far better choice. This was a very special weekend as I was scattering my brother’s ashes, and I chose The Arminel Forest Cottages to treat my daughter because it once set the standard. Sadly, it no longer lives up to its “home-from-home” promise.

Beautiful little cottage to stay for a weekend. The cottage was clean and comfortable. The new fireplace is very easy to use and smoke free.

The pillows were not comfortable.

Beautiful place.

Very quiet out of season. They did not tell us beforehand that restaurant and bar was closed. We did not book a self catering chalet but was allocated one.
