  Firstly, thank you we had a fantastic week in the cottage.

  We were so lucky with the weather and the outdoor space and play areas were brilliant for the grandchildren. The cottage itself was beautiful and the decor was lovely. The only negatives were that we couldn't turn the lights off at the bottom of the stairs, none of the light switches would turn it off. When we arrived we found a single half a bread stick in the fridge along with a half bottle of water that had been drunk from. When one of our party reclined the sofa the footrest was ingrained with crumbs and debris in the creases and there was a large shard of glass underneath from a broken glass. The final thing was that it should be mentioned about the proximity to a busy road as this can be heard through the night if you need the windows to be open and is constant traffic throughout the day making it difficult to get out from the driveway due to it being on a bend. As previous guests also mentioned the ground floor shower room does flood so we only used that once and then used the upstairs bathrooms. This is just a couple of negatives to let you know about but this didn't impact on our stay at all and 2 Dewars Farm Cottage is a beautiful property.

  The cottage met all our expectations. It was quirky, cosy and the undulating floors and quaint windows added to our enjoyment. The shower pressure was excellent and during a very hot week the stone cottage remained cool. We did take a fan with us but it was not required. The cottage did not provide parking, however there was ample parking in the road. There are some good walks locally and it only takes a few minutes to walk to the town centre. The pubs are all good and the Thai restaurant was excellent. There are three good supermarkets in the town. In addition there are numerous small food shops selling excellent local products. The comings and goings at the adjacent church and parish rooms kept us interested and the neighbours were friendly. The welcome pack was a nice surprise and included many local products including biscuits, tea, coffee, apple juice and milk. The high winds the day before we arrived had torn away the climbing rose from the front of the cottage. It wasn't a problem but we received a call to say it would be addressed and it was the next day. We were impressed! We had a great week and plan to return!

  The property and grounds are large and spacious and ideal for up to eight people plus a dog.

  Beds are very comfortable and kitchen well equipped. The garden has lots to do and the jacuzzi / hot tub is brilliant fun and was a good temperature when we arrived (32C). Lots of nice towels and good quality bedding. The ground floor shower room / toilet was very handy and the washing machine and tumble dryer very good quality. However, there are some problems. The oil fired boiler 'trips' and needs to be reset at least once a day (probably needs a service) and the only indicator is the temperature dropping or no hot water. Some consumable products like liquid soap, dishwasher tabs, washing detergent are minimally provided, so guests need to bring their own or go shopping. The chemicals in the hot tub seemed a little 'strong' on the skin and evaporating in the air. The ground floor shower cubicle leaked quite a bit so needed moping after use. Barely enough cutlery when eating in. Overall we had a great family weekend and would recommend this holiday cottage and would return again.
