"Very Good"

7.0

Good location in the village and for exploring nearby. Cottage generally well appointed,

Lack of proper internal table for in-cottage meals. Lack of dedicated parking, but on-street parking opposite cottage worked well.

"Beautifully renovated cottage in lovely village with exceptional host (s)"

9.0

Location was perfect for visiting family living locally in the village. Lovely setting in a beautifully renovated cottage. Co-op very close by to pick up necessities, etc. A minor miscommunication regarding early access to the cottage was quickly dealt with and efforts made to extend check out time, which worked really well for us.

Only one bathroom which was downstairs.

"Fine for a couple of nights, probably more setup for just a couple"

7.0

I'm a little stumped as to how to review this property to be honest. I booked this very last minute after being asked by a friend to help at an exhibition in Loughborough. It was a great location for us, being only 30 minutes away from the venue. It's presented very nicely - its very clean, exceptional kitchen with everything you could want in a self catering property (probably could do with some better cutlery). Lovely downstairs shower room with a good shower and plenty of hot water. The main bedroom is extremely comfortable with plenty of storage. You'd think the road would be very noisy but in actual fact it is extremely quite during the night.

It says there is onsite parking - well unless I got this very wrong, the parking is next to the garden fence on a side street. At the time of our stay there was quite a large van also parked. They did leave enough space between a telegraph pole and the gate to the garden though. I managed to tuck my car in as close to the fence as possible but it's quite a little lane and I was extremely worried about my new car getting damaged. There was 3 adults in our party and after helping to set up the exhibition on Friday we were looking forward to just relaxing with a bit of tele! Unfortunately we found the seating in the living room pretty uncomfortable. It looks lovely but I'm not sure its very practical. Although the living room is a good size, the current seating would struggle to comfortably accommodate 4 adults. Whilst the main bedroom is extremely comfortable the same cannot be said for the 2nd bedroom. I think this definitely needs a new mattress. It also says that the do not allow dogs - I'm not sure that is adhered to either. In all honesty, the cottage is more set up for just 2 adults and we may consider booking again if it was just my husband and I as its in a nice location.

"Convenient but would not return"

5.0

The location was convenient as it was close to an event we were attending. The owner was kind enough to allow us an additional hour to vacate the premises as we had overslept - this was highly appreciated, thank you!

Our car got scratched (we parked at the side of the house) which cost is around £500 to make good. There were no instructions on simple things like how to connect to wifi or switch on the heating. It is a bit awkward having to get in touch with the owner and waiting ages for an answer (it was the weekend so there's a set expectation of a delay in response so there should be info provided as is standard practice with other properties we have visited).
