What our customers say about their holidays

  This was a very welcoming property and the great space downstairs was prefect for our large family gathering.

  The kitchen was very well equipped and made it easy to cater for some large meals. The garden room was delightful and the range of games stacked on the shelves a real bonus. The weather was not brilliant, so we did not really take advantage of the huge garden but this would have been a real attraction in drier conditions. There was plenty of space for badminton or any outdoor games but you would need to take those yourself. The little summer house was a nice touch to store bikes or games but was in need of a bit of a tidy. The milk and butter in the fridge was a welcome gift and the provision of dish washer and washing tablets also appreciated. We found fitting a stair gate a little tricky due to the narrow stairs. We had a toddler and a crawler, so they needed watching at all times on the steps down to the garden room and around the hot Arga but there were plenty of us to keep a watch out so that was not too much of a problem. The toddler loved the fact that there were so many books in the bedroom with the two singe beds. This was a lovely room for little ones. One criticism, the bathroom really could benefit from a deep clean. The sink was harboring mold around the open rim and the floor at the side of the bath, between bath and sink, had been missed in the clean, I think. The plane glass in the bathroom window was also a bit disconcerting. Its a difficult place for a curtain or blind for sure but maybe frosted glass would help with privacy? Although the property is not overlooked at the back by housing, there were people walking in the woods at the back, so we felt a bit more privacy when in the house would have been appropriate. We very much enjoyed our stay overall. The area is beautiful and the house is in a lovely, quiet and rural location. The bird life in the garden was a joy too.

  Fantastic place to stay and during a long heatwave we could not have timed it better.

  The property has everything you need and is very secure for your 4 legged friends. The only 2 gripes I do have, 1. Bedroom curtains are too thin and there is a static caravan out the front which leaves the porch light on all night which shines straight into the bedroom, so didn’t get much sleep all week! 2. The hot tub was used all week, day and night by the kids and at no point did anyone call around to do a PH test and top up the chlorine levels, by the 5th day the water started to smell a bit stagnant and had a green look to it, so we stopped using it, other places we have stayed called around every couple of days to test the water or had a floating chlorine device which stopped in there when not in use, you could also not adjust the temperature, so was made to use it at 37deg which I have read up on and this is a standby temperature when you are away! I like a hot tub

  We had a fantastic time at Hunters Cottage.

  We found the house very clean and had everything you need for a relaxing break. The log fire was perfect for those cold, winter nights and heated the whole house. Plenty of fire wood was provided. The hot tub was huge and the roof kept the rain off. Unlike other reviews, we found it hot and clean. The kitchen had all the amenities. There was a TV in the lounge, kitchen and every bedroom with freeview and netflix. Prime was also accessible if you have an account. We were also able to access a TV port to plug in our PS5. Poppy (our elderly boxer dog) was allowed full roam of the house which was much appreciated and made the break much more relaxing as we didn't have to worry where she was and she could do what she normally does. The games cupboard was very thoughtful and gave us a night of laughter. Benllach was a perfect base to explore Anglesey.

  Woodhill Cottage was very comfortable and well-equipped, particularly in the kitchen.

  The only item that seemed to be missing was a teapot! We loved the design and decor of the property, and the large sunny living room which led out onto the terrace was a pleasure to sit in. There were many books, puzzles and games provided at the property, and we made use of these. Croquet on the large lawn was fun! In terms of drawbacks the lack of a mobile phone signal at the Cottage was an inconvenience, and although WiFi was available we found that it wasn't good enough to stream programmes on iplayer. There isn't a grocery store within walking distance, but we found that the Farm Shop at Abinger Hammer about a mile away was great for topping up. All in all a great property for a family holiday in the Surrey Hills, which catered for people of all ages.

  We had a very comfortable and enjoyable week in the caravan.

  It was the first time I’ve stayed in a caravan and not had to go shopping as soon as I arrived for things like toilet roll as everything we needed was there. The owners, especially Fiona, are very friendly and helpful. The nearest beach was a 25 minute stroll away, was safe to swim at and had good facilities. There are 2 houses either side of the van but you can’t even see one of them and there is a sea view and views of the farm directly in front. The little tea room/ gift shop at the end of the road is also worth a visit for the home made chocolate cake! We found plenty to do, both on the island and on the mainland, whatever the weather did. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone. Thanks to the lovely family who own it.
