  • "Lovely cottage in brilliant location."

    Very peaceful. Kitchen very well provided. I expected - small, as the house is only for 2 people - dishwasher. Tumble drying facilities would be useful. It was a bit alarming when the washing machine jumped out from the worktop! Only really issue was that the heater upstairs had turned the bedrrom and lounge into a furnace and it was hard to know how to turn it down/off. More obvious and clearer instructions would have been useful.] I've recommended the cottage highly to anyone I know.

  • "The cottage itself was lovely but the cleanliness/ bed let it down badly."

    The showerhead was covered in black slimy mould and had clearly never been cleaned and the whole house in general was filthy. The cleaning that has been done is clearly just a quick hoover / wipe down before the next guests. We had to empty the hoover that was provided before we could use it as it was full the brim. The bed was very uncomfortable as the mattress was so thin. The cottage itself is lovely but needs a major deep clean throughout.

    Lovely cottage but we came home early to get a good nights sleep The mattress was so lumpy and uncomfortable we couldn’t stay another night A bit disappointing

    Dear Mr Rowbottom, thank you for your email. As owners we had no idea about the mattress which was new and year and a half ago. Unless we are told by customers of problems we would never know, so we are grateful to have been told. The cottage has a brand new mattress on the bed now. Property Owner

  • "A charming comfortable cottage delightfully situated so close to Anne Hathaways Cottage."

    All was clean and well maintained the only slight imperfection might be that there was no heated towel rail in the bathroom. But otherwise a lovely place to stay

  • "This is a very old property and therefore has the normal creaky floor, nothing in level or flat, steep staircase, so you need your wits about you when moving around."

    The property stays very warm all the time, so suggest airing some times as can attract condensation in the winter months. Very quiet location and very relaxing. Lovely location is great and easy 20-30 minute walk into town where there is everything you need to have good days and evenings.

  • "I was very surprised to find was owned by a local cleaning ‘solutions’ company… The following solutions were not met."

    Having stayed a few weeks before for another two weeks I found the same issues which even after reporting were not addressed or even responded to. The shower and bath had not been cleaned at all with footprints and scum rings in the bath and mould and hairs in the shower. The sewer pipe had a leak above the front door so expect an outdoor shower when emptying the bath and we were left with a dirty mop behind the electric fire to mop up a leaking chimney. There were stains all over the fireplace due to the leak and it would only have needed a lick of paint…. There was a lot of mould growing behind the bed. Were left a couple of toilet rolls and a bin bag for two weeks so had to go out and buy some more and some bathroom cleaner and bleach. Matters were raised by email with owner for resolution but I heard absolutely diddly squat back…. Other than that it was a charming building character wise in a nice location.

  • "I just love this cottage."

    Bit reluctant to say so though because I want to go again and don’t want it to be fully booked. It was just the ticket for my week away. Comfortable, warm and great location. Loved every minute and will be back.

    A lot quicker too

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed the delightful quaint Tudor Blue Bell cottage."

    It was cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. Anne Hathaway's cottage was 300 yards away and the hop- on hop-off bus was there as well. The town bus stop was 800 yards away. We also appreciated the off street parking, walk-in shower and the comfy bed. The clearly advertised steep stairs were steep but had a firm banister with enough grab handles to help. I am 78 and managed them. Everything was spotlessly clean and we enjoyed the welcoming treats.
