"Exceptional"

10.0

I had an amazing stay here. The room was spotless clean and had everything I needed. The hosts left me a welcome hamper with banana bread, champagne, and snacks and were very sweet during my entire visit. Would definitely recommend.

One of the blinds fell down every day when I tried to open it. The hosts would come in to fix it but it kept falling. Wasn’t that big of a deal to me.

"Absolutely wonderful relaxing week."

10.0

On arrival, we were welcomed with a lovely hamper, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated after our journey. There is also a comprehensive welcome book containing useful information about the cottage and clear instructions for using the facilities, making it easy to settle in and feel at home. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed, with a lovely butler sink, clever fold-away work surfaces, a double electric hob, and a combination microwave oven. We had read comments from previous guests mentioning the lack of a conventional oven, but we found the facilities more than adequate for our stay. During the week we cooked cottage pie, tuna pasta, sausage and potato bake, and even a full fry-up without any difficulty. The bathroom was excellent, with a lovely rain shower, plenty of hot water, and quality towels and bathrobes provided, which added an extra touch of comfort. The standout feature for us was the private garden. As we live in a flat, having a secure outdoor space for our dogs was wonderful, and they absolutely loved it. The hosts had even left treats for them on arrival, which was a lovely gesture and very much appreciated. We had also seen comments mentioning that the TV is located in the bedroom rather than the living area. This wasn't an issue for us, as the Wi-Fi connection was excellent throughout our stay, allowing us to stream SKY Go on a laptop without any problems. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped, and clearly cared for. The attention to detail throughout, from the welcome hamper and guest information book to the thoughtful touches for our dogs, made for a genuinely relaxing stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would happily recommend Beekeepers Cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing, and dog-friendly getaway.

There wasn't anything we disliked. There wasn't a tin opener and we forgot to mention it to the hosts when leaving, but it wasn't a major issue, we had a ham sandwich instead of tuna!

"Enjoyed our stay. Would return if garden is secured correctly!"

9.0

We loved the entire atmosphere inside and outside of the property. The antiques inside are quirky but with a modern twist. Shower was amazingly hot and very well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The entire cottage smelt amazing. Cottage was also spotlessly clean! If you’re looking for somewhere surrounded by wildlife this is for you. The public footpaths are stunning! We also found a secure dog park a 2 minute drive down the road called Paula’s Pawsome dog park!

Unfortunately I read in a previous review the garden is fully secure however this was not the case. 3 times our miniature dachshund escaped the garden through 2 separate places so at 6am I was walking around the grounds trying to find her and was very worried as the is close enough for her to get onto. We also found the pillows need an upgrade and we actually had to use pillows from the sofa to sleep with the second night as I didn’t get much sleep the first night due to the pillows being so thin.

"Mini-Häuschen in ländlicher Umgebung"

8.0

Ruhige ländliche Lage, Parkplatz am Haus, nettes Willkommenskörbchen mit Prosecco und Gebäck. Gemütliche, schön gestaltete Einrichtung, bequemes Bett. Gärtchen und Abstellmöglichkeit für Räder.

Bei Ankunft leider unbeheizt. Haben beim Vermieter nebenan angefragt..brauchte etwas, danach kein Kontakt mit den Vermietern. Sehr eng und klein, besonders im Schlafraum. Keine Ablage/ Abstellmöglichkeit für Koffer- 1 mini Kleiderständer mit 4 Bügeln. Schrankküche, für 2 Personen alles da..kochen mit 2 Platten auf der Kommode..mini Kühlschrank- eher was für Improvisierkünstler und nichts für längere Aufenthalte. Im Garten 2x kleines Tischchen mit Stühlen, aber jeweils nicht wirklich zum Essen geeignet. Verbindungstüre macht laute Geräusche, wenn die Vermieter ihren Eingangsflur nutzen.

"Fabulous stay, lovely accommodation, loved the extra quality things."

10.0

The cottage was very tastefully decorated, very well appointed and very comfortable. It’s on a great location for what I wanted. I felt safe being in the grounds of a larger house but private as it’s self contained.

The only criticism I would have is that the pillows were too soft for me but I think that’s a personal preference thing!
