"Very cosy and clean cottage, we had a nice relaxing 4 nights. Penny and Nigel are very welcoming and helpful. We arrived late at night in the dark and Penny came out with a torch to show us the way round to the cottage. There is parking at the property, just off the road, could be a bit tricky for a large vehicle. We had a lovely stay and would love to return. "

"Period property in good condition and nicely warm throughout in a cold week. Bar is reasonable but more random “boutique “ selection of booze rather than the regular stalwarts and tends to close early. Overall satisfactory and certainly the best in the area of the ones I’ve been in. The biggest issue is the lack of good restaurants in the local area"

" There is too much information to fit in this review so I have confined to bullet points: Complaints, based on facts which can all be evidenced with photographs; receipts; and audio files: - Room 4 was awful. Decoration and fittings in a very poor condition/ cleanliness / state of disrepair. We were moved to Room 5. Allot better but with cobwebs on bedside and main light shades. Lacked a curtain on upper window which allowed light to come in at unwanted times. Walls were paper thin as the music and noise from a party from the adjoining cottage could be heard in our room, as if it was in our room, to the extent that we couldn’t hear our TV over it and couldn’t sleep until after 2am! We complained but the hotel advised that they could not force them to turn the sound down but had asked to no avail. - At breakfast the milk was served in a dirty / stained jug, which looked like the remnants of gravy. A young and evidently inexperienced member of staff had filled the cafetière too full and as a result the hot coffee sprayed out when my wife depressed the filter mechanism. Luckily it did not scald her but stained her clothes and covered the table. We reported it and we’re move to another table. - After the calamity of things issues and the fact that we did not sleep, and my wife’s birthday weekend was spoilt as we were too tired to continue the next day, you would have thought that the Manager would at least be there to apologise the next morning and a good hotel would offer "
