What our customers say about their holidays

  • Gary - Verified booking

    There is no denying the cottage is attractive externally .

    The problem is inside , it is not untidy by any means ,the problem is it is very small . Potentially it supposedly can sleep 4 people , and accommodate two pets . Never in a million years is this house suitable for that number , it's only suitable for two people maximum and even two pets is pushing it. The sofa bed we were informed in the living room was broken , good job really as god knows where the space is to open it , so a single Z bed was brought in to replace it - fair enough - but then you were stuck with that in the way . The other double bed is up a very steep staircase , and you have to walk through the bathroom to get to it , this is interesting if you had two couples staying , nice roll top bath but no privacy . Bedroom has one tall boy set of drawers , and bedside drawers but no wardrobes - just two tiny rails in an alcove ??? Where would four people put there clothes for a week ?? Also the loo is in the bathroom but the hand basin is in the bedroom - interesting. There was no freezer department in the fridge and I feel that is a necessity . Don't even get me started on the tv and DVD player - everyone is yellow and the screen is about the size of a lap top . We were only staying Monday - Saturday , and in that time we were asked if a gas engineer could come service the hob , potentially a Gardner was coming Friday or Saturday . Then one evening the power in all the sockets went out , so no tv , kettle , microwave , fridge , heating , no Wi-Fi !!!!! People did try to get us an emergency electrician but with no luck - so we were going to be stuck the whole night with nothing - my wife was very upset and disappointed . I took matters into my own hands eventually , took some photos and sent it all to my electrician brother - who called me and talked me through how to reset the electrics . And just like that after three hours the power came back on - do YOU know an electrician you can call ??? I use Sykes all the times and have never had any cause to complain about their listings , but I feel this one needs a clearer online description. It may look like the perfect chocolate box cottage outside , but just be aware of what you will find when you open the tin.

    This is the worst cottage we have ever stayed in.

    A rodent problem caused us two sleepless nights meaning that we were so exhausted that we had to forgo the remainder of our seven-night booking. On arrival we found a ball of wire wool on the bathroom windowsill and saw that some wire wool had been placed in one of the holes around the bathroom pipes. We also noticed rodent bait boxes had been placed under the bath and behind the chest of drawers in the bedroom. On the first evening we heard scrabbling noises from the living room ceiling but by the second night the scratching and gnawing noises from bedroom ceiling in the middle of the night was so loud that sleep was impossible. Having now seen that a previous review from September mentioned that the rodent issue was reported to Sykes, we are disappointed that we were not told about this before making the journey to the cottage as this unpleasant situation was foisted upon us. Surely pest controllers should have been called to eliminate the mice before guests were allowed to stay there again. Leaving early was our only option as the mice could obviously not have been eradicated in the timeframe of us staying there. We have reported the rodent issue to Sykes as well as the other concerns we had i.e. the fan oven thermostat was faulty so all foods cooked in it was massively overdone due to the extremely high temperatures it was reaching. This made self-catering impossible for us as the food we took with us had to be oven cooked. We were also concerned about the potential fire risk from a spotlight in the entrance hallway that was hanging down by its holder especially as it had a cable tie attached to it which had been scorched by the heat of the bulb. This had resulted in burnt pieces of cable tie to drop on the floor.

    We stayed here over Christmas and it was such a lovely break away from the hustle and bustle.

    The cottage is in a beautiful village with countryside views out the back windows. There's the sheep as your neighbours so you can watch them whilst enjoying a cup of tea at the window seat in the lounge. The cottage itself is quaint a typical chocolate box cottage. Has most of the amenities you need apart from a freezer. Beware of the low beams my 6ft 2 husband cracked his head a few times on the first couple of days. There was a lovely Christmas tree decorated for us on arrival. Which was a lovely touch and made it really festive and homely. There's board games and puzzles to enjoy. There are loads of little countryside walks from the cottage that we and our little dog enjoyed. We took our 10yr old son with us but after reading the reviews about the sofa bed not having a lot of room to pull out we decided to take our camp bed which fit perfectly next to the bed upstairs. There was 3 of us and a small dog and the size was perfect but probably wouldn't be big enough for 4 adults. In other reviews people moan about the tv being small and outdated and yes it's not a big smart tv but it had plenty of channels for us to watch at night. There's so much on offer surrounding this cottage that you don't need a fancy big tv. We had an amazing Christmas break and will definately look at booking this beautiful cottage again.

  • Kerry - Verified booking

    Lovely and well presented cottage with a well equipped kitchen.

    The cottage was very clean and perfect for our short (2 night stay). It was a good location with easy access to the M40 and easily accessible to Warwick and Leamington Spa as well as the popular Cotswold tourist areas and walks around Broadway, Stratford on Avon, Bourton on the Water, Stow on the Wold etc. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in for a long time. The country park access is within walking distance of about 200 metres of the cottage albeit a bit of a steep climb into the park or a £3 parking charge but well worth the exercise each morning. The only criticism would be the lack of a coat rack, but fortunately for us we had good weather so leaving coats on the back of the chairs was not too much of a problem and the fact that the garden is not secure for the dog so he had to be supervised throughout the stay on the lead in the garden for fear of running onto the road. Was lacking an information pack on rubbish and recycling for the cottage and followed what the neighbouring cottage had done. Limited leaflet information and a information on walks in the local area with maps would be helpful to future guests as these we had to find on-line but often without the benefit of maps unless we signed up to various websites.

  • R, D, J & Charlie the Cocker Spaniel - Verified booking

    We enjoyed a week in your delightful cottage, thank you. On arrival we found a really home from home. - the provisions, wine + wild flowers were much appreciated too. We spent our time re-visiting old family memories (husbands family came: from Hunstanton & Heacham) as well as exploring the local area. • Sunday Lunch at The Nelson Inn, Burnham - highly recommended! • Holt was perfect for our retail therapy - with many independent shops & cafes/eateries. • Burnham Market had a more relaxed (but sill definitely up-market) feel - there was one store that was like an Aladdin’s cave - room after room of toys/gifts/hats + women’s wear! • The shrine at Walsingham is well worth a visit - so calm a tranquil. The town centre in Fakenham is somewhat jaded (like many towns - retail outlets closed in favour of out-of-town shops) - but there are three supermarkets, an excellent department store (Aldiss) - with a large dog welcoming cafe, a great Garden Centre + Langham Glass factory is worth a visit. We wondered whether the cottage might be a little too remote but, in actual fact, it was well placed for easy driving access to the local area + coast. Lovely relaxed stay in your cottage - we will certainly recommend Peony Cottage to others.
