Most guests find the cottage very comfortable, praising the beds and peaceful sleep. A few mention the bed being too firm or high, and some found the sofa too soft, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort reported.

Cowslip cottage was immaculately clean which is always #1 in my list to feel comfortable. The cottage is decorated very eclectically which I adored. The only gripe was that the down filled sofa wasn’t the comfiest and as you’re on a farm setting you will get a few spindly spiders, but they stay away and shouldn’t bother you. We had a very warm welcome, and the cottage itself was very pleasant and cool during a 25°-28° weekend, and a fan was provided.I hadn’t realised that the cottage was joined to another guest residence and next to the family homes, or that the beautiful cottage garden was shared, but that’s probably my fault for not reading something thoroughly enough, and to be fair, there was still privacy. We loved the rural location and being able to see deer and hares in the wheat fields on the 18 minute drive to the supermarket. And we loved the eclectic and clean cottage. The bed is high, but I managed and found it comfortable despite having mobility issues. I would definitely recommend this cottage to others.
