Property was very spacious and clean.

We met up as a group of friends. The house was absolutely perfect for us. It was located in a lovely village and you could take a walk along the river…..it really was beautiful. We even walked back from Cambridge on one day. The house itself was excellent. The sofa was very firm, which was absolutely perfect for me, but may not be for others. I personally found it extremely comfortable. The kitchen was great. We did cook a meal and it had everything we needed. It also had lots of plates, crockery and glasses, which is a nice change from some places. It has a huge fridge and freezer…..and a dishwasher. It also has a utility area with washing machine etc. The table and chairs were fabulous and so comfy. It is all open plan downstairs, which we loved. There is a downstairs toilet…..perfect. There are four fabulous bedrooms, one of which is an en-suite, and a bathroom upstairs too. The bedrooms were absolutely beautiful with stunning furnishings. I slept in the en-suite bedroom and it was extremely comfortable. All of us slept well with no nearby noise. From booking this property, the communication was excellent. They gave full instructions on location and lots of other information. Before check-in I was sent the door code, which was such a great idea as we didn’t need to look after a key. If I sent a message it was replied to instantly. I honestly cannot fault the hosts at all. Overall, we had such an amazing stay in a great house. You won’t be disappointed!!

The only thing I would say, although it didn’t really impact us……is that the house sleeps up to ten people I believe, as there is also a sofa bed downstairs. So if you had the full capacity, then I definitely don’t think the lounge area would be suitable. Some would most definitely have to sit on the table chairs as the sofa would not fit ten people. There were five of us, and one of us sat on a chair, as it was a squeeze on the sofa. There is another large seating area (which matches the sofa), but it doesn’t have a back on it, so it wouldn’t be suitable for everyone. Don’t let this put you off though. As a smaller group or family, this place will be absolutely perfect.

Great place to unwind after a hard days work on site (away from home). All the comforts of a home and outside space to enjoy.

The communication from initial booking through to arrival was informative and comprehensive. The amenities & rooms were absolutely delightful, the bonus being the stereo surround sound in the living room :)

None to report

It felt like a home from home. Very nicely decorated and a comfortable temperature too.

The carpet on the stairs was a bit threadbare and we couldn’t find the bedding for the bed in the living room.

Good facilities

Stair carpet dangerous so needs replacing. Two bedrooms really only singles. Quite cramped

Beautiful house, very clean and spacious and has everything we needed. Very quiet area too; garden was a spacious size.

View was very nice Location was great. Beds were comfortable. General decor of the house and outside was nice.

• The cottage was crawling with spiders and cobwebs in almost every room. This went far beyond what’s expected in a rural area and showed no evidence of deep cleaning. • Because of the heat inside, we couldn’t sleep. We couldn’t open windows to cool down, out of fear of insects entering the property as some of my party members are severely arachnophobic. Alternatives such as fans could have provided. • Dust throughout and hair left in the bath — only surface cleaning had been done. • No hot water for the shower the following morning. • Cleaner arrived 15 minutes before checkout and waited around, making us feel rushed. • A reminder to load the dishwasher, despite the property being unclean on arrival, felt unreasonable. The hoover had also not been emptied prior to our arrival and was full of dust. Also, small touches, like leaving milk and biscuits, would make the property feel much more welcoming, especially given its remote location.
