  The location is lovely, peaceful with lovely views.

  Lyndsey the lady on site was lovely, she was very welcoming and not at all intrusive considering she lived next door! The house was nicely maintained, with plenty of room. The welcome pack was a nice touch, thank you The garden is not enclosed which is not great when you have a four legged friend to look after & chase about, but the site is large and fortunately when he wandered we found him! I stayed in what we called the Hobbit House - the bed was marvellous, never slept so well, however there is no storage for personal belongings, no mirror, the loo is a port a loo which is not great in high temperatures and the bathroom door refused to stay shut! That said, there was only the lack of storage which caused a serious issue. The mezzanine floor bedroom had the same issue, no storage for personal belongings. I acquired a clothes horse from the main house to hang my clothes on......... The 2 main bedrooms were lovely, full size coat hangers would be good though! The sofa's although new are not big enough for sitting watching TV on an evening, they are small which means you are sitting on top of each other, not great in high temperatures. Loads of parking for a number of cars, although the road to and from the house is not great, we had high cars which was good, as low cars would bottom out in the many deep holes along the road. The jacuzzi and sauna were there and clean & ready for use, but we never used them due to the lovely weather we had, we just sat out and enjoyed the view. A lovely location for a quiet holiday, lots of birds and squirrels to watch and enjoy.

  Pheasant Lodge is set in a beautiful woodland, it's a luxury property and the master bedroom is huge!

  The kitchen is very well equipped. Kieron met us and showed us around the property and how to operate the sauna and hot tub. We also used the pizza oven and BBQ, plenty of outdoor seating, a lovely garden and very private & safe with it being the last property at the end of the lane. We were celebrating the 60th wedding anniversary of my parents who are both in their 80's, they found the ground floor bedroom and bathroom easily accessible. Also staying were my daughter and her husband along with my granddaughter of almost 15 months, she was so excited and spent so much time outside. There were 4 generations at the property and it suited us all, I stayed in the shepherd's hut, it was a very comfortable bed, hot water always available and I loved it. The walks to both reservoirs are truly stunning, we saw lots of wildlife and so peaceful. Fox Valley retail park is only 10 mins drive away and has every shop you could need and a beautiful Italian restaurant where the food was delicious. We also had pre-booked Sunday lunch at McGilverays' Wortley Arms, (as recommended by Kieron) the food was excellent, the owners went above and beyond to look after 12 of us (my sisters, niece and partner joined us). We want to thank Kieron for his great hospitality and was easily contactable if we had any requests or issues. I would highly recommend staying here, we all had such a lovely time. Thank you so much

  The advertisement for this cottage needs updating.

  The outside is the cottage and the surrounding area looked really drab. The garden was completely overgrown and full of weeds, no excuse for this after a long Summer of lockdown. There was a bra left in one of the bedside drawers. Crumbs in the kitchen cupboard. The washing machine wasn’t always available as the manager next door also used it (even though there were two), we had to get the maintenance guy out as half the kitchen ceiling bulbs had blown. The house alarm was going off every few hours, a fuse kept blowing in the cottage and all of the lights would go off, this happened 5 times. The living room arrangement was awful, there were 6 single seats and one double seat, they were so uncomfortable and not the sofas that were pictured in the advert. Our elderly parents in particular were really uncomfortable, they had a low back on them so you couldn’t even fully lean back and relax. We were so disappointed as we were looking forward to settling in for the night on the sofa with a film after long day with our newborn baby. The bath plug in the main room didn’t work properly and all of the water drained out of it so didn’t bother having another one. We paid a lot of money for this holiday and were not at all happy with the constant problems and disappointments.

  3 pheasant Lane was an amazing little cottage.

  The en suite bathroom was brilliant for my disabled auntie, she absolutely loved it. The kitchen is very well equipped with what you would need for a week away. The pizza oven outside was loved by the children. They were amazed at the pizza oven and now want one. The cottage itself looked clean and tidy when we got there, as soon as we pulled the hoover out however big clumps of dust was coming out as well. The Shepherds hut was lovely, doors were a bit of a pain as they kept getting stuck, took a lot of strength to open the door to the toilet. The bed is a bit shorter than I personally am used to however it wasn't a problem. It was comfortable and once I got used to it, I got a decent night's sleep. The hot tub was all prepared and ready for us when we got there, everyone loved the hot tub and sauna. The outside hosepipe is full of holes and sprays out everywhere as a result so washing down the patio in the garden is hard work. Lyndsey was very helpful and happy to point us in the right direction of the shopping centres and the pubs and other places we asked about. Always answered any queries we had and was very polite and helpful.

  The cottage is well equipped, clean and is all we expected.

  The owner is around and very helpful. There are two very pleasant walks nearby around the reservoirs but it is a fairly steep road back to the cottage if you are walking. The main disappointment was the fact that the garden is not enclosed for our 2 dogs. Luckily they were well behaved and respected the barrier we made for them with the garden furniture. The weather was disappointing but we made good use of the hot tub though didn’t have time for the sauna. I would advise that the spiral stairs to the mezzanine are steep and not suitable for an older person. The main bedroom with the en-suite would benefit from the toilet being boxed in rather than open but that is just my preference. I stayed in the Shepards hut but showered in the main house as the bathroom is quite compact. I am just over 5ft and had to climb onto the bed so again may not be suitable for an older person. A kettle would have been a bonus in the hut so a cuppa could have been made if required. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well in this peaceful rural location
