Whitebrook Cottage

There was no breakfast. The location was fine, though parking was a bit awkward and potentially dangerous on a blind hill's corner - you'll have to get out of the car one side at a time. The cottage is charming if you don't mind ducking your head a lot and not being able to stand up at all in the bedroom, and don't mind a poorly thought out heating system. The strength of the shower was great, but it was impossible to avoid it flooding the room. There were all the facilities you'd expect in a house.

There's only really one job that needs to be right when you stay somewhere overnight - the sleep. Sadly, that's terrible at this cottage. One of the beds is at an angle so you'll feel like you're constantly falling off it, but even worse than this was the thick fug of air freshener fumes that permeated the place. I hadn't realised this was what was keeping me awake until my light went off and I saw a little glowing device in the small bedroom. It was plugged in and emitting powerful fumes the whole time. I know from previous experience that these things set my immune system on edge, so I had no choice but to get up, turn it off, then try to clear the air by leaving an open window all night. Apart from this, the cottage is fine unless you're over about 5' 4" tall, in which case you'll be ducking your head nearly everywhere upstairs and between rooms down. You should get the heating on as soon as you arrive if you want to be comfortable in the living room later in the evening, as there's only one radiator in there, behind a sofa, and you should move the sensor for the heating away from the cooking systems in the kitchen if it's to be any use - I recommend putting it in the living room, though you'll have to be careful not to overheat the bedrooms. There aren't any materials to light the wood burner. The shower is bizarrely installed such that you cannot help but flood the floor with water when you use it. The lock box for the key is also very fiddly. You'll need two hands and some patience. No streaming services. I put these problems to the proprietor but they showed no interest at all in making it up to us, beyond some empty words about fixing the problems for the next guests. When the cost is over £100 a night, you'd expect such a big profit margin that, whilst they're still getting things right, they'd be happy to refund 50% for any early guests who provide good feedback.

I loved the quaint stone house, very comfortable, spacious lounge, beautiful fireplace, kitchen beautiful, bedrooms very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Bathroom lovely, bright, clean and well laid out.

Nothing

Location perfect, very quiet (heaven after a horrible long drive) comfy sofa, fabulous mattress, will definitely book again!

Lovely little cottage in a cute village

My bed hadn't been changed ...had previous guests food in my bed ..rang the owner she came and changed my bed she asked my friend if his bed was ok he replied that he thinks it is .... how wrong was he !! He woke up with someone dirty boxers round his feet ... we contacted booking.com and was replied by the owner " I brought you wine and chocolates and asked you if you wanted me to change the other bed and you said no" .....rude ! Then declared her cleaner was mortified ! THE PROOF WAS THERE ....BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 50% REFUND FOR A WEEK ⚠️ AVOID BECAUSE IF THEY CANT RUN A CLEAN HOUSE AND ADMIT WHEN WRONG THEN WHAT ELSE IS THERE . ALSO I BELIVE THE OWNER IS THE CLEANER. £100 quid for a rubbish experience that was supposed to be my best mates birthday present .... think before ya book here 🤔.... because they cant admit when wrong ...bad business !!!!!!
