  Facilities inside the cottage were generally very good.

  The furthest back bedroom lacked a bedside cabinet which was quite irksome as there was nowhere for me to put my glasses and phone at night. Even a small shelf would be useful here. Heating was good although I had to manually turn down the temperature before going to bed as it seemed otherwise to run all night with the associated noise from the expanding and contracting pipes/floorboards. The large fridge in the kitchen was excellent as was the milk and loaf - a nice touch and appreciated. The tumble dryer filter had apparently not been cleaned for a long time, and was completely filled with fluff, to the point of being a potential fire hazard. I cleaned it but we eventually did not use the washing facilities after all! But having both a washing machine and dryer available was excellent. We figured out how to use the TV/Sky Box in the downstairs lounge which was fine for the amount we used it. Parking is a huge issue - but probably not much you can do about it. If we wanted to return to the cottage during the day for more than 30 minutes we were stuck, as finding a parking space anywhere near the cottage was all but impossible. And we had to leave by 08:30am if parked outside or just hope the traffic warden hadn't been down that street yet. Twice I got a parking space over the road - luxury! Would we return? The lack of parking would be a deterrent, but the cottage was very good.

  A stunning property that has the wow factor but still felt like home for the week.

  Lots of space for larger groups or families to have their own space. Really easy to walk into town to access all amenities and a short drive to so many beautiful Cotswold towns and villages. A million good things to say so please take these next points as constructive feedback ….. the lighting in the kitchen snug area is very dark. This is where our grandson spent most time but reading a book was difficult and it just felt too dark. Same in the games room; more light needed. Also the Wifi was really bad. We basically only ever had it in the living room. We saw the booster in the utility upstairs and saw it wasn’t connected but tried lots and it wouldn’t work. The old WiFi password is still in the kitchen which needs removing. I think this particular issue really needs resolving as some of our party had to work and could only do this in the living room. But the house really is special and we had a fantastic time. The response from the office about a couple of small issues was also outstanding. Thank you

  This house is a lovely place for a family to relax and enjoy time together. Masham is a fantastic location, so much right on the doorstep so you hardly need drive although we explored Ripon and a nearby abbey. Walking with dogs and kids is great, market on your front door, pubs nearby and the breweries were all great places to visit. With art and coffee shops, two butchers and a fantastic grocers we enjoyed local produce as well as the pubs and the fish and chips – excellent! House is a brilliant size, rooms clean and well equipped with lovely bathrooms and lots of hot water. So nice to have the option of an open fire and so much space for all the family – huge fridge and two ovens as we like to cook, perfect! Easy to clean floor meant the dogs were fine on the ground floor and the games room was enjoyed by all. We loved the area, loved the house and really enjoyed a wonderful weekend.

  The property was in excellent condition, comfortable and inviting.

  Easy access to the beach of 10 minutes walk and even less to the town centre which houses an M&S, Aldi and Lidl stores, plus plenty of good eating areas. The overall cleanliness of the area was good and much better than expected. We were a party of 10 with 6 adults and 4 children. All loved the hot tub and the games found in the garden. As many have said the beds were extremely comfortable and there were more than enough towels. Would like to see a Tumble Drier in the property to cater with the wet towels produced by the hot tub, general personal use and that of the beach. Also I feel the property would benefit from the outside grass surface being replaced with astroturf or similar to cut down on maintenance and reduce dirt being carried into the property. The last item is a small one but important, there was no long handle brush pan and broom only a vacuum cleaner we could find

  A lovely property that was clean and beautifully furnished.

  The hot tub was welcomed and enjoyed. The conservatory was plenty big enough to relax in and warm. We enjoyed our stay. The property is situated down a quiet lane but quite central so was just right for where we visited. Lots of pretty beaches to visit and if you get chance do go the Honey Farm as truly interesting. Good communication from owner when issues arose or if you are unsure of anything. The airers are handy for wet towels and swimming costumes but a small washing line in the garden would be handy or separate electric heated towel rails that can be set on a timer as heating was off. My only real criticism if it is one is the exit time. 9.30am. I know the cleaners come in to clean it thoroughly and need time but another 30 mins would have been beneficial as there were 10 of us to get out.
