What our customers say about their holidays

  The Hayloft was perfect for a relaxing getaway.

  Really attentive hosts, we arrived to find milk, bread, and cake left for us which was incredibly thoughtful. We spent every evening in the hot tub, just enjoying the peace. Some of the towels left for us were stained which was disappointing, but overall the cleanliness was good, and the bedroom is so gorgeous. The pub across the road is so friendly, with an unexpectedly large vegetarian menu. I spent all week drinking whinberry gin, so lovely! We took our dogs for beautiful walks right on the doorstep, no need to drive anywhere. Such a lovely area. We fully utilised having the shop across the road, and again were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked it was and the variety of products. We were, however, quite shocked to walk in one day to hear a conversation between a shopkeeper and some locals that was transphobic and quite homophobic. It was made even worse when they tried to include us in this derogatory conversation. Though this has nothing to do with the holiday property, it may be worth noting if you're planning a stay. Again, this is of no fault to the hosts; we loved staying at the Hayloft and were sad for our holiday to end. We had such a great time

  Upon arrival fo the property we were greated by the owner and her lovely doggos.

  The owner is very friendly, helpful, kind and happy to point you to the beautiful local spots! We had everything we needed there, but obviously bring your own food! Although, there's plenty of eggs! The owner was thoughtful enough to put shower gels, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, cleaning supplies, towels, a hairdryer and even extra fluffy blankets for those cosy nights in, out for us. The local scenery is so beyond beautiful too. My fiance and I were the first people to stay at the property that aren't friends / family of the owners, and we certainly will not be the last. Beyond happy with our experience, this is the best holiday we've had in a while. Will definitely return. Thank you for having us guys, and thank you for giving us such an amazing time.

  I am so glad that I booked The Wainscott.

  The cottage was beautiful and the hosts were friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. The grounds were stunning. We played a bit of tennis (badly) on the shared tennis court. We saw two families of Goslings. We found the tree house and the swing. And took great pleasure in walking around the grounds. The fresh eggs we purchased from Mrs Mitchell were delicious. You can really taste the difference. Mrs Mitchell also makes a variety of Jams. I have purchased two flavours. Oh and the hosts were amazing as they provided us with a pint of milk and also a plate of Tiffins upon arrival. Mrs Mitchell also baked us a cake we ordered from her. Overall, my experience was fantastic and I will be returning once again I hope. Thank you Mr and Mrs Mitchell for everything

  My experience of the area may be a little different from others as I was there to recuperate after surgery.

  However, the cottage was very well equipped, clean, quiet and with lovely views. It was easily accessible for me, and the time I spent in the cottage was absolutely what I needed. Information was left that enabled me to do what was required and to use everything the cottage had. The cottage had towels, tea towels, all the kitchen equipment I needed; the bed was comfy and the place was warm enough. It was very cosy, so quiet and such a lovely place. Had I been able to venture out more, I could see so many places accessible that seemed lovely. As it was, I did go as far as the forest on foot, and I saw this had views over to Wales, Snowdonia and Cheshire and Liverpool - it was lovely. In the area of the village and forest, I saw no more than a few people!

  A really lovely cottage which has been immaculately equipped to hotel-like standards.

  The owners are very friendly and make you feel very welcome; nothing seems too much trouble. The cottage is in a corner of an old farm quadrant part of which is now a pre-school day nursery. There's a lovely positive playful sound from the children (but could be a downside if you don't like the sound of children playing). The nursery closes at 6pm after which our children were allowed to use the soft play facilities and gardens. A real bonus was the use of the tennis court and access to the 50 acre wood opposite the cottage. The walk around the perimeter was about 1.3 miles and was a great place to walk our dog. All in all, a wonderful stay which felt like a proper break away from home. We hope we can book again next year.
