Blue Bell Cottage

The location is great, the cottage is cosy.. every thing is there that you need.

Nice location Plenty of space Dcent valve for money Lovely rooms and very good cottage feel Log burner Helpful extras such as bbw trolley and picnic basket

Dart board but all darts were broken and damaged Unable to control heating to our times etc No logs for log burner Front door sticks when trying to get back in All minors that can be easily rectified Lack of outdoor space but not major issue

The look and cosiness of the cottage was lovely with the beamed ceilings and beautifully carved wooden furniture. Just over the road from a stream which had children paddling in it and a little beer garden and memorial garden. The spa bath went down well with us all especially my little boy! Lovely spacious bathroom.

We did really enjoy our stay there are some things that could have made it better that i want to mention. On arrival I opened a door in the living room (photo attached), my 3 year old son stepped through it almost falling down the steps to the cellar. Only because i grabbed him he didnt fall down. This door did have a bolt on it but no sign which i strongly advise gets put on to avoid accidents. We thought it may lead into an outdoor area however there isnt a garden just chairs to put outside front of house. The advert stated a washing machine and dryer however there wasn't a dryer and nowhere outdoors to dry washing so we had to leave it in kitchen on maiden but then couldnt use those clothes again as they didnt dry overnight. We were sent the wrong PIN code for keyboard so took a while longer to get in but once I called the number on booking we were given the correct code easily. Property overall clean (bedding, surfaces ect) but when looking for keys we found quite a few crumbs under couch cushions. Also thick dust on skirting boards behind single beds discovered when pushing beds together. Not enough beds to accommodate our stated party, the advert states 2 double beds in one room but they were 2 singles, luckily 3 of the guests never ended up coming so we were OK. Steep stairs which my mum struggled with. The water coming from the shower had a funny smell to it. Kitchen blinds left open during heatwave weekend so the room was room too hot to sit in on arrival.
