Most guests found the cottage cosy, warm, and comfortable, enjoying the spacious layout and relaxing atmosphere. However, some reviews mentioned that the beds were too soft, small, or creaky, which affected sleep quality for a few visitors.
Facilities such as the hot tub, well-equipped kitchen, secure garden, and ample parking were highly valued. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, including occasional problems with radiators, taps, or WiFi, but these did not significantly detract from most stays.

The gardens are gorgeous and perfect for sitting out on a nice day. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day. The weather was very hot when we stayed and the owner was kind enough to keep the hot tub cool so we could use it more of a "cool" tub to relax with the bubbles but not overheat. Rooms were very generous in size. Kitchen was very well equipped, loads of different types of glasses, plates, pots etc. fridge and freezer was large. The owners have dogs who are very friendly however if you don't like dogs you would never see them. They were usually kept well away but my child loves dogs so the owners were kind enough to let them out when he asked so he could clap them (he actually cried on the last day having to leave them behind) Washing machine and drying line was fab to get clothes cleaned. We didn't really have any issues but any questions we had were always replied to in a timely manner by the owners. They were truly wonderful.
