What our customers say about their holidays

  Booked late on with the principal criteria being proximity to our son and family.

  The accommodation was adequate for our needs , the bed was very comfortable and the shower was superb. On the downside, the property is quite dark inside because there are no rear windows and the lighting provided (except in the bathroom) is inadequate. There are no views from the property other than across the car park and the small patio, next to your parked car, is not an enticing place for evening drinks, or a meal. There is little that can be done about that, it is what it is as a former stable complex but no effort had been made to make it slightly more attractive. There were brackets for hanging baskets outside but no hanging baskets. As a result of the above, we felt that the price charged was high. Our plot also lost the evening sun earlier than the other units. On arrival, the 'welcome' basket consisted of 2 packs of biscuits, coffee sachets and tea bags. Previous stayers we noted from the guest book received the more normal Prosecco! Nor could we quickly chill the wine we brought, as we arrived to the fridge turned off and the door wide open! By contrast, our son paid less for 2 bedrooms with a nice sitting out area and views across the valley and only a mile away, also on a farm.

  A warm, welcoming and cosy cottage in a really well connected area.

  The cottage and garden are very well looked after. The garden has an amazing bbq hut, which we didn't have time to use, but next time... I have only marked down the accuracy of listing because the way garden is photographed and mentioned doesn't fully explain the reality. The garden is separated from the house by the public driveway that gives access to the other houses. While on the surface this doesn't seem an issue, if you have a dog you can't just open a door and let it out into the garden. You need to leave the house, cross the driveway, unlock the gate and then you are in. Unfortunately for us it was pouring with rain, so it just made it a little more of hassle than ideally you would want. Not a deal breaker, just good to be aware.

  A beautiful holiday cottage, plenty of space and good surroundings.

  There was a fab welcome pack which was a lovely touch. What was so good and helpful was that everything was set up, ready to use (things like bins and lots of spare bin bags, tea, coffee, sugar etc) which made it so easy to just arrive and get cracking, esp with two young children. If you weren't aware, the upstairs bathroom cold tap doesn't work and therefore running a bath for the kids had to be done through the shower (as the hot tap was scolding hot v v quickly), or we used a jug to tip cold into for speed. The BBQ lodge was a lovely alternative place to hang out and the children loved the ducks on the stream. Was a lovely week, a well set up and appointed cottage. Perfect, thank you.

  We were happy with the property and it was clean and as described.

  Feedback is only helpful if it can improve others experience, so I will mention the following. We saw a reference by someone else who stayed about a welcome hamper. Just to be sure, we checked with yourselves and had an email back from Michaela-Jayne on 18th April that this was the case "owner does supply a hamper" We appreciate it is at the discretion of the owner but as we arrived late on a Sunday afternoon when shops were shut, we were disappointed at what we found. The hamper consisted of a pint of milk and a lemon drizzle cake. I hope you would agree that this was hardly welcoming. We left all sorts of basics at home like bread and butter etc. It did spoil our first day.

  The photo's do not do this accommodation justice.

  We weren't short of anything we needed except maybe a teabag on arrival but coffee, milk, sugar and biscuits were provided to start us off. The bed is super comfortable, the bathroom is very nice with a lovely large shower cubicle. Everything is spotlessly clean. We were fortunate enough to have great weather & our patio area had the perfect balance of sun and shade,(I followed the sun round with my chair amd my fair haired hubby & dog followed the shade
