"Everything about the property was great!"

Lots and lots of space and finished to a very high spec. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and was ideal for cooking and chatting. Big fridge and freezer which matters when you are self catering. The outside space is lovely too, and would be wonderful to sit out in warmer months. The owners were extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. We regularly try to get away as a family group and this is one of the best properties that we have stayed in.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your time in the cottage and it met your needs. We really do appreciate you taking the time and look forward to hosting you again with maybe some sunshine! Property Owner

"We stopped here as two families and had such an amazing time."

The accommodation is perfect, with so many well thought of features. The location was great too and we enjoyed a walk into the village. The prosecco and cookies also went down a treat thank you! Our only slightly negative was that it was quite warm despite us turning the heating down. But this didn't really alter our experience at all. Would definitely recommend and rebook, thanks!

Thank you so much for your feedback, really do appreciate you taking the time. I am pleased you enjoyed your time in the cottage and the village. Thank you for your comment on the heating, I have now adjusted it. Look forward to hosting you again in the future. Property Owner

"This cottage was amazing."

Very clean and modern. In an ideal place . Took family for my husband's birthday and our grandson loved it. He had horses in the field a donkey and a couple of sheep which he loved to see every day. Pub just a walk over the bridge with good food. Owners just on the end of the phone if you needed anything . Lovely gesture with fruit, bubbly and biscuits awaiting us. Would highly recommend this property.

Many thanks for your feedback, really do appreciate it. So pleased you had a lovely time. Thanks again. Property Owner

"Wow , what an amazing property!"

We have stayed in lots of self catering accommodation across the country & Heather Cottage is one of the best! The house is absolutely stunning, spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped & finished to a very high standard. The owners have thought of every detail & the welcome pack & all the personal touches were lovely & much appreciated. We were lucky with the weather when we stayed & were able to fully open all the sliding doors while we were enjoying sitting outside. The completely enclosed garden was ideal for our grandchildren to safely play in. We look forward to coming back to Heather’s cottage when we are next in the area. We would recommend this house to everyone!

Many thanks for your lovely feedback, I really do appreciate you taking the time. I am so pleased that you found Heather's Cottage amazing. We look forward to hosting you and your family again in the future. Thanks again. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Heather Cottage."

It was warm, cozy, and easy to find, with great amenities nearby. Our only minor comment would be regarding the flies. We understand there isn't much the property owner can do to mitigate the issue, but having a fly swatter in the cottage would help. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, really do appreciate it. Apologies about the flies, have picked one up. Thanks again. Property Owner

"Our stay was amazing."

The hosts has not accommodated a house for renting, they have accommodated a house as for their own. All the small details added to the functionality of the house totally differentiate it on the market. Super clean, white snow towels, great location, amiability and helpfulness from the host at high standard. All I can say thank you for giving us the opportunity to step in your world. Amazing.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Very pleased that you found the cottage amazing. Property Owner

We stayed there for a couple of nights with my family and friends, which was remarkable. There was enough indoor and outdoor space for children, and they liked it a lot. I recommend that you consider having it as your holiday home.
