Andrew and Emily (who live on site) were very welcoming and helpful, nothing was ever a problem. The cleaner Jane also was also very nice and helpful. Some small gripes were, the upstairs floorboards were very noisy when moving about especially for the guests below. A small TV in the bedrooms would have been nice. The games room could do with some updating. On a positive note the kitchen was fully equipped and we didnât need to bring anything apart from food. Hair dryers were provided, plenty of towels , hand wash and toilet rolls. The welcome box of chocolates, a bottle of wine and eggs was a lovely touch. Tea, coffee and sugar was also provided. The beds were very comfortable. The swimming pool was a big part of why we chose the cottage and facility didnât disappoint. The kids really enjoyed it! Regrettably on a negative note, on one occasion whilst we were using the pool, shortly after entering we were told (for the first time) that swimming lessons occur on a Tuesday afternoon and that we would need to get out. This was the first time meeting the owner. She did apologise but it was very awkward. We were very disappointed (as anyone would be) but especially because one of our family members who has a terminal illness (unbeknown to the owner) to our surprise had gotten into the pool that day very shortly before and for the first and only time during our stay, so to be told to get out was a real disappointment to him and naturally to all of us! We were polite despite our feelings (even though our disappointment would have been clear) however that was the only time the owner spoke to us although we saw her a few times afterwards and we were the only guests on site. Wasnât a deal breaker but did leave a bitter taste in the mouth. A notice on the door would have negated this.

Thank you. Far too much to do in the area, including a fabulous meal at Farriers, for a week so a return one day is inevitable. An oddity though. I really donât understand why I paid an additional fee for electric car charging when a âpay to useâ facility was on site?
