"May back holiday"

10.0

Perfect location for a family get together. Property was clean. Facilities were as described. Plenty of space for everyone without feeling on top of each other.

Although it didn't dampen our stay a little TLC is needed on a few things. Decking could do with weather treating and the garden sofa could do with fixing.

"Great place for a family get together."

10.0

Stunning property in beautiful countryside location. The house was clean and well equipped, the hosts had thought of absolutely everything. There was plenty of room so that the 6 of us weren’t on top of each other. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you 🥰

Everything was great.

"Very relaxing and comfortable.Thank you Catherine"

Location ,hot tub , plenty of space, plenty of parking for 3 vehicles. Host was very quick at responding when messaged.

Nothing really , only the turning in off the road is very tight and comes up quick on a tight bend.

"Beautiful view but could have been better"

5.0

The view

There were issues with cleanliness and owner offered to resolve with the cleaning team but we resolved ourselves. Seating arrangements for more than 5 would be an issue and as per others previous feedback, clearly there had been issues with damp but ceilings have yet to be restored. The 4th bedroom has no wardrobe or clothes rail/bin and the whole property could welcome a deep clean, especially the walls. We have reported our issues with Booking.com and will liaise with them directly

"Highly recommend this stay"

10.0

Stunning property with a great host. The property was well maintained and had everything we needed, there was even a Christmas tree! The heating was very nice and warm. There was also plenty of wood for the fireplace and hot tub. The host was very accommodating and helpful. The kitchen was well equipped and now had items that other reviews said were missing (bread knife, Cafetiere etc). The welcome hamper was such a nice touch

The single beds weren't amazing for adults. One mattress was on the floor (no bedframe) and the other single bed was quite wobbly

"The most relaxing escape in a beautiful cottage in the stunning countryside."

9.0

It was the most perfect little cottage, in the countryside such a beautiful and clean house in the best location. We loved the hot tub too!

Only thing we have to say is could do with some more outdoor lighting for when sitting round the fire or in the hot tub at night. Other than that it was perfect!

"Very disappointing, house felt neglected, needs a bit of TLC."

4.0

Beds were really comfy, bathrooms were in good condition.

Jetty was very damaged and off limits, decking handrails were loose and felt dangerous, outdoor furniture was broken and dirty, lounge smelled of cat urine and dogs, didn't like the upside down nature of the house, no outside covered area. Bought my own pop up gazebo to sit under outside, and luckily took my own camping chairs. Every window was covered in cobwebs and spiders on the outside. Not enough dining seating inside for a house that sleeps 8 people. Couldn't get to the water to launch inflatable canoes or do fishing safely. Lawn out the front was very rutted, and wouldn't recommend for small children to run around on. Even adults would end up with broken ankles.

"Amazing week at the Ridd Cottage"

8.0

Lovely property and location, with stunning views. The lounge however did smell damp, assuming due to the recent heavy rains but owner is trying to rectify it with ozone cleaners plugged in. We spent most of the time outside in the amazing hot tub.

Slight smell of damp throughout the downstairs.
