Guests say
Courtyard Cottage in Gordon is highly praised for its stunning location, cleanliness, and peaceful atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped cottage, beautiful grounds, and comfortable beds, with special mentions of the four-poster bed's comfort. The surrounding area offers plenty to see and do, with wildlife and historic houses nearby. Some guests noted the single beds' firmness and early check-out time, but these were minor points in otherwise glowing reviews.
The cottage is consistently described as spotlessly clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests are very satisfied with.
The location is frequently highlighted as stunning, with beautiful grounds and a peaceful countryside setting, making it a strong asset for the property.
Overall, the cottage is considered comfortable, especially the four-poster bed. However, some guests found the single beds too hard, suggesting room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped cottage and lovely grounds. However, there are suggestions for upgrading the kitchen equipment and television, which affects the score.
While the reviews are positive, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.

Lovely cottage. Was well equipped with anything we needed & spotlessly clean.Heard footsteps during the night going down then up the stairs when everyone was in bed,so rather strange but it made our stay quite excited. Would definitely go back.

Stunning location and comfortable cottage. Kitchen and equipment needs an upgrade as does the old television.
