What our customers say about their holidays

  • Claire - Verified booking

    The property is spacious, away from the road and well-positioned for Rock and the surrounding area.

    The house was very well-equipped: books, games, jigsaws, every kitchen utensil you could imagine. It was great to have more than the bare minimum of plates, bowls, mugs etc so that the dishwasher could be run efficiently. There was plenty of cupboard space both in the kitchen and bedrooms. The showers were wonderful: so powerful and the water was hot! The whole house was very warm, which suited us! The house is very light, airy and tastefully decorated. It felt very homely. The back garden has wonderful open views across the countryside. There was parking for two vehicles very close to the house, even though we only used one space. It would be helpful to let visitors know that the cottage is located behind Lundy House and that the bins seem to be emptied on a Thursday. The property would benefit from a thorough maintenance check and deep cleaning more often between guests checking out and new ones arriving. Our experience was the kitchen in particular needed worktop surfaces degreasing; the microwave and oven / hob needed cleaning properly before we could use them; the kettle handle was sticky; plates / cutlery had been put away not properly clean; the dishwasher had runner wheels lying in the bottom so every time the top rack was pulled out, it fell off (which we think we have now fixed); there was no salt nor rinse aid in the dishwasher, so we had to purchase both; a number of the kitchen cabinet doors didn’t shut properly. Elsewhere in the house the toilet roll holder in the downstairs toilet is nearly falling off the wall. We had to buy toilet rolls as there were no spares and two were right at their end when we arrived. One usb wall socket charger in the main bedroom doesn’t work. As other people have said the sofas are not very comfortable. We had to pick up three lots of dog poo in the back garden when we arrived. The grass was very long and hadn’t been cut for some time. It was only cut on Thursday. All of these things added up to the house appearing to not be cared for, even though it is a lovely property in a fantastic place. Fortunately these things didn’t stop us having a good holiday.

    First off. We really enjoyed our time at Millwood Manor.

    It was the first time in 4 years that my 84 year old mother had seen our children and the reunion was special. The entire group was excited for the stay, and I had shared the listing with them all before we arrived. Overall, the property did not live up to the hype. But again, we all really enjoyed our stay and the house gave us plenty to talk about. Here’s how it could be improved: 1) We arrived in the dark and the house looked grim and forbidding from the outside. A simple photosensitive outside light would have made the first impression so much warmer. 2) The front door has seen many better days and sticks as you try and open it. It requires a big shove and makes a squeal like a banshee. 3) The house was chilly upon arrival. The thermostats were all set to 17C, so the first impression was of cold and damp. 4) Nice touches like the bread, milk, juice and biscuits, plus fire materials won some goodwill back. If the fires had been laid and the ‘welcome’ basket presented as a ‘welcome’ all could have been forgiven. 5) as per the pictures, the house is arresting and quirky. The hall and the main bathroom are the highlights. Having the dead light bulbs replaced in the ceiling lights would have really shown the hall off in all it’s glory. 6) The bedrooms were from a different time - damp patches, on the walls, musty smellsand saggy beds. 7) Location is great, lovely walks through the woods and the wild garlic carpets and bluebells were delightful. 8) Of the three vacuum cleaners in the property only one worked (one made everything dirtier). 9) The house had pretty much everything we needed, save some cleaning clothes. 10) Broadband speeds were in the single digits, but stable. If you need to jump on a Teams call, you might want to bring a Starlink or OneWeb. Basically, this is a lovely, quirky property that could be amazing. It just needs some TLC and and it’s windows cleaned.

    The property location is fabulous.

    The property needs to be cleaned thoroughly after checkouts. Kitchenware needed cleaning as it had dried food marks. Oven trays could do with replacing as they have burnt food marks etc. Dishwasher not cleaned with food at the bottom. Fridge was not working. This should have been sorted before check in but we had to flag it. The owner of the property responded quickly to repair the fridge but it took 2 attempts to get it working leading to food spoiling in the meantime. This messed up the first few days of our holidays. A cleaner was sent to clean some of the areas and utensils etc in the kitchen and the floors and vacuum-cleaned when we flagged this up but not all the cleaning could be done we were told so the property could do with a mega clean up and replacement of some of the equipment mentioned. Double bed in room to the right side of entrance hallway is not comfortable - consider replacing mattress. Floors need deep cleaning as well as skating boards and walls. Too dusty in areas. One of the large sofa’s upholstery worse for ware needs mending. Bedside lamp is temperamental not switching on at times but flickering.

    Well equipped large dwelling, with lovely quality clean bedding and towels, along with washing machine and most other kitchen essentials, except a dishwasher, which for large groups would be preferred over tumble dryer.

    Big issue in bathrooms, with literally nowhere to hang a towel, gown, toilet roll, along with not a single wall mirror throughout home. Also lacking coat hooks, so definite need for more storage, especially with staying a week. The same in the kitchen, no real space to store food, other than large integrated fridge freezer. We ideally wanted a more rural cottage, with more garden, as this had large shared carpark with very high small garden other side, not ideal for younger children and again shared. Despite the obvious history of the building, there is no original features and work hasn't been carried out to a particularly high standard, though all very clean. I feel this is better suited for few days as base, or for groups of adults as easily walkable into Rawtenstall, which has a full array of food and drinking options, along with loads of supermarkets and shops. We enjoyed our week there, had amazing weather and explored a fabulous part of the country, but not quite what we are used to, and happily admit to that partly my own fault in not researching better.

    We had a lovely time at this fantastic holiday property which provided a great base for exploring Lincolnshire.

    The accommodation is beautifully decorated, exceptionally comfortable and the owners have thought of every detail so you have a luxurious stay with lovely soft fluffy towels, luxury bath products and excellent appliances including a large Smart TV and Dyson hair dryer. There was also a fab welcome pack including biscuits, hot chocolate and Prosecco. We enjoyed days out to the coast which is within easy reach (only 20 minutes to Cleethorpes) and the Lincolnshire wolds with it’s rolling countryside, pretty villages and Georgian market towns. We also ventured to Beverley in Yorkshire and the Humber Bridge, both well worth a visit. After our days out it was a real treat to return to the comforts of the lovely accommodation. Many thanks to the owners for a great stay.
