  Overall it was wonderful to stay here.

  The positives: The owner, Andy, was friendly and helpful, and sitting listening to the stream every day was as relaxing as it could get. The cabin itself is cosy and really well built. The shower was excellent, the sofa comfy and the wood-burner and the hot-tub lived up to their selling points. The not-so-positives: the bed for me was just ok, I woke achy a couple of times, but I appreciate everyone's different when it comes to mattresses etc. The kitchen was equipped ok but basic, it would have been nice to have more options for drinks than either a small (and I mean small) cup or small wine glass. I was disappointed to not find a teapot, and I didn't see a cafetiere either. The combi oven is complicated to use, I only managed to conquer the microwave. But I appreciate why it was chosen as a space-saver. The one thing that wasn't expected at all is that this property is NOT as private as it appears to be. There is another rental property in view. After talking to Andy, he explained that it's a new unit so I'd expect the listing for this to change and state this. You can see, and be seen, by that unit when you're on the gorgeous patio and in the hot tub. They were far away enough to not be heard, and the trees do shield a bit, but not entirely. I'd return in a heartbeat as nothing was wrong enough to be grouchy, but at least I'd know what to expect (and I'd definitely take my own mug and glass).

  This cottage was exactly what we were looking for and was described in the listing very accurately.

  It was quiet peaceful and above all very private but within easy reach of all local amenities and attractions. On arrival the accommodation was spotlessly clean and extremely well presented with every imaginable appliance/gadget available to ensure a comfortable stay. The quality of furnishings and fittings were of a very high standard with an exceptionally comfortable bed and superbly appointed bathroom again with very high quality fittings. A log burner with all the necessary equipment was, once mastered, a very cosy addition on chilly evenings although the whole property benefitted from underfloor heating which was very efficient. The cottage also benefits from extensive outside gardens and paddock for our dog. Fresh flowers with scones/cream and jam was a nice welcoming touch as was milk tea and coffee etc. This property was perfect in our opinion and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for a wonderful quiet and peaceful break, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only other comment (not a criticism) would be to provide a folder with instructions on certain equipment within the property ie log burner, heating system and heated towel rail. Also to include the location of local amenities ie pubs restaurants and shops and also the wifi password. Overall a very satisfied customer.

  I was almost tempted to lie about this property, the area etc as it's such a hidden gem.

  But I can't. Staying here I felt like a Disney princess. Early morning/dusk cue the deer grazing on the slope opposite. Early afternoon and here come the geese having a brief paddle in the stream and disappearing upwards. At any time of the day pheasants wandering about aimlessly (never the smartest of birds, bless, why people shoot them I have no idea as it would be more sporting if the sport was trying to NOT run over them). Finally, the bold squirrel knocks politely at the window asking if you happen to have any treats about you. It's just amazing. The cabin has almost everything you could need for a great stay (1 minor irritation is no bathroom/bedroom bin just kitchen one but it's not that big of a deal). I have always thought that money is for experiences not things and so I always try to book interesting places to stay and have never gone back to the same place twice. I would for this place and am certainly planning to, if not this year then the next. The surrounding area too is so beautiful and not very touristy which I like. I have to say the best holiday I've had in this country.

  Lovely cottage.

  Will return. I’d just keep on top of the cleaning company as there were some things we noted. Hoover not working A lot of thick dust under the bed, under the chairs, behind chairs, so looks like cleaners not doing a deep enough clean. Food in freezer of fridge on arrival. Glasses not washed properly as cloudy and marked. No Hob instructions Our actual stay in the cottage was lovely. We love the property. Love the interior design. Comfortable bed. Private. Best of all is the area for our dogs to play in and to sit on patio and enjoy the sun and the peacefulness. The stairs in the cottage are steep but as long as you don’t have mobility issues it’s fine. The location was perfect for travelling everyday to find new exciting places to visit. Beautiful beaches all fairly near. Great pub with super food, Punchbowl and Ladel only 2.5 mikes away . Thank you we will be back.

  Gorgeous little cottage, in splendid isolation, down a track about a mile long.

  Does share gardens with a bigger holiday cottage, but on this occasion, we were on our own. Steps, down to the bedroom and bathroom, are quite steep and would pose difficulty to anyone with a mobility issue. TV has a reception issue with any BBC channel but then we spent a lot of time out and so, as far as we were concerned, wasn't an issue. Finally, we did have a painter & decorator, on site, while we were here. Apparently we should have been informed of this by the letting agents but we didn't receive any such email. However we didn't have an issue with him being on site as we spent most of our time, out. The gentleman, infact, was an invaluable source of local information and we got on with him very well, I think he appreciated that we let him get on as he's been trying to decorate this property for a while but some of the clients have been less inclined to allow him on site.
