Guests say
The Bothy at Fordcombe is a comfortable and spacious cottage in a peaceful, quiet rural location, with a large garden and off-road parking. It offers a log burner, patio doors, and is well-stocked, catering to those with poor mobility. Local pubs and attractions are within easy reach.
Guests have mentioned the need to clean some items upon arrival and minor issues with the standard of changeover cleaning. However, the property is generally described as clean but with a 'lived in' feel.
The location is highly praised for its quietness and proximity to local attractions and good pubs, making it an ideal rural retreat.
The property is described as comfortable and spacious, though some guests noted a lack of home comforts such as scatter cushions and rugs.
The Bothy is well-stocked and caters well to guests, including those with poor mobility. However, there are comments about the garden not being dog-safe and the noise from the floor.
While guests appreciate the property's offerings, there is no mention of welcome packs or gifts, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness in this context.

Very quiet location, But no welcome pack ie nearest Doctors Dentists Hospital etc,Had to wash up some items before we could use then food left on from previous people.Garden not safe for dogs as they can get out??The floor is terrible when you walk on it - the noise is very off-putting.
