Old Cottage - English Countryside Retreat

Great house, lots of space, great decor.

A coffee machine would be a great addition to the house.

The property is stunning. Easy to find, spacious, comfortable. Parking on site for up to 5 cars

Beautiful visually. Plenty of room. Bed room & living space lovely. Hot tub great.

Lots of space, well equipped, clean, comfortable, nice quiet area and a hot tub. Quick responses from owners when messaged. Was a real treat and would recommend and book again.

Mattress could be a bit firmer, but this is a personal preference

The location is absolutely stunning, providing a picturesque backdrop for our weekend. The house itself is beautifully presented and very well-kitted out with many thoughtful amenities. We particularly loved the social kitchen space, which was perfect for cooking and gathering, and the fantastic hot tub was a huge hit for relaxation. The provision of plenty of towels for both the bathrooms and the hot tub was a lovely touch and much appreciated. We also found there was ample space both inside and outside the house, allowing our group to spread out comfortably.

While we thoroughly enjoyed many aspects of our stay, there were a few areas that impacted our experience. Most significantly, we were disappointed that there was no hot water available for the entire duration of our weekend stay. Despite reaching out, this issue was unfortunately not rectified, which was quite challenging for a group of our size. In terms of practicalities, the kitchen would greatly benefit from a knives block for easier meal preparation, and a proper coffee machine would be a wonderful addition for coffee lovers. For the outdoor areas, we found there wasn't enough garden furniture to comfortably accommodate all guests, especially given the lovely outdoor space. Regarding the bedrooms, several of us found the mattresses to be quite soft and uncomfortable, impacting sleep quality. Adding long mirrors in the bedrooms would also be a very helpful convenience. Similarly, the bathrooms would be much improved with the addition of shelving and mirrors for guest use. Finally, some form of insect repellent would be beneficial, particularly for evenings outdoors, and suggestions or maps for local walks would be a fantastic resource for guests wanting to explore the beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful house with stunning views. Large comfortable house with plenty of room for our family of 8. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely hot tub with beautiful views. Beautiful property, a few small tweaks could make this home absolutely perfect.

2 of the rooms had mattresses that were extremely uncomfortable. Comfortable setting outside would have been good.
