Guests say
Oak Cottage is highly praised for its cleanliness, stylish decor, and peaceful location, with many guests appreciating the thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. While some guests found the beds and sofas less comfortable and noted the property's dog-friendliness could be improved, the overall experience is deemed positive with guests enjoying the facilities and expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean and immaculate, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and perfect for walks, although one guest noted it was further from the village than expected. The tranquil setting and proximity to nature trails contribute to its high rating.
While many guests found the cottage comfortable and homely, some mentioned the beds were a bit uncomfortable after a few nights and the sofas took up a lot of space, which slightly lowers the comfort score.
The cottage is well-equipped and guests are generally pleased with the facilities. However, some guests suggested improvements such as better storage in the kitchen, larger fridge/freezer, and clearer instructions for the heating and electric fire.
Guests often mention a welcome pack and surprise in the fridge, which are appreciated as thoughtful gestures. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and not all reviews reference them, a score cannot be accurately provided.

We really loved our stay in both Holly and Oak cottages. They are extremely clean, well equipped and comfortable, homely places to stay. Although there are no windows in the upstairs rooms, the Velux blinds work extremely well. Above all, the total peace and quiet was indusive to the best sleep Iâve had in months. Access to beautiful walks literally on the doorstep was a huge bonus. We will be back!

Great walks and great access to city if you wish to drive. We will definitely return to this property I the future. The only negative I would give the property was the main bed was not comfortable think the mattress is in need of being replaced this however never stopped me having a great stay. Highly recommend.
