"What a beautiful place, the property is just perfect and the garden is a real bonus."
We enjoyed a fantastic week here intending to wind down and relax, and that’s exactly what we did. I totally recommend staying here if you want a perfect base and want to relax. There is a canal 100 metres along the road that has the most peaceful walks in either direction. It might not suit people who want lots of sightseeing or local places to visit, we loved it though. The hosts were absolutely perfect.
Thank you for your kind feedback glad you enjoyed a relaxing stay Property Owner

"Met by owner at agreed time for keys and property walk around, nice views over fields and a warm and comfy cottage, very nice bedding and a hot shower in the morning, kitchen had all we needed although the pans could be a bit iffy connecting to the induction hob, good internet wifi, owners very easy to contact, although we did not need to, just bumped into them a couple of times, good chippy, kebab house, butchers and co-op shop in Misterton to pick up any supplies, just down the road you can get on the canal towpath for a walk."
Had a few good Sunsets looking through the large windows sipping a JD. All was good and would recommend the cottage and they welcome dogs.

"The property was in a lovely spot and very well dressed, but I would reiterate the comments made by another reviewer that the property could do with a general cleaning."
Bathroom was clean, but the kitchen, while on the whole clean, the fridge had not been cleaned out, I had to do it. There was no information pack to advise you how things worked. Therefore took a bit of time to work out the induction hob, it turned out it had been locked, by a previous occupant. Had no hot water for a while but this was resolved. There were other niggly issues that should have been checked before we came. No details of vets, doctors or dentists left and no suggestions of where to visit. Can't say we didn't enjoy our stay, but it could have been better.
Thank you Deborah for your comments . I would like to point out our cleaner leaves the property normally spotless so not sure where the general cleaning issues were , but will double check for future guests . Also It’s unfortunate on this occasion She/we haven’t checked the fridge after her visit .Your comment about the water heater is valid ( blown fuse on the switch ) however once I was alerted by yourselves , it was rectified within 15 minutes . I did engage with you several times during your stay and you did not mention any other niggly issues.? It does seem you want to unfairly exaggerate your negativity with your stay with us , we do pride ourselves in our friendly , helpful engagement with our guests to tell them about local pubs , places of interest etc ( which I did ) so we have found no need to provide leaflets , magazines etc , also I’m sure if you needed a vet or doctors during your short stay we are on hand to advise . Kind regards Michael and Anne Property Owner

"We were really looking forward to our stay in Highfield cottage."
On arrival the cottage looked just like the pictures, but on closer inspection there were some issues with maintenance and cleanliness. Examples maintenance: bottleholder in the fridgedoor was missing, handle to flush the loo was cellotaped on, one blind wouln’t come down, another wouldn’t stay up. Examples cleaning: cobwebs (and spiders) in every corner, crumbs in kitchen cabinets and an oven which could do with a good clean. Having said this, the bathroom and bedroom were clean and tidy and the towels new and really fluffy. After a while we were able to look past the issues as mentioned and had very enjoyable time. Highfield cottage is built to a high standard and is beatifully decorated, it just needs some tlc.

"Our stay at this beautiful cottage was amazing."
It was very clean and well equipped. We were made very welcome. The cottage was set in a peaceful location. We took our dog and the garden was secure and safe for him. There were plenty of walks near by, where we could let him off the lead. In the village there was a chip shop, food was excellent, certainly a must if you stay here. We have stayed at a number of cottages over the years, this was far the best. The cottage and location could not be faulted.

"Lovely, light, bright very well appointed and beautifully furnished property."
Good views from the private garden with plenty of seating options. Our miniature dachshund enjoyed his stay too, particularly the nearby walks along the canal banks.
-
"A beautiful cottage and dog friendly garden."
The property was just as advertised and the owner very friendly! We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful and relaxing stay at Highfield Cottage.
-
"Ann and Michael have a lovely accommodation and we very much enjoyed staying here."
The space has a nice private feel to it with great views across the landscape. It was a perfect base for us to do all our visiting of friends and family.
-
"Lovely spot."
Beautifully appointed with lots of mod cons and comfortable furniture. Private Garden overlooks lovely views. Host is very helpful and friendly. Thank you
-
"The property was 100% as advertised."
It was bigger than ALL one bed properties that we had stayed in. The views of the back garden and beyond were great. No overlooking. Garden was 100% secure for our small dog. All equipment in property worked. Plus was the size of tv, Internet that worked and ability to access Netflix and Prime TV. Owners were helpful but not intrusive.
-
"The bungalow was lovely - very spacious and and so was the garden."
It would have been helpful to have instructions for the cooker and although there was instructions for the heating it took awhile to get the heating right so just a hand written explanation would be nice. There was some cobwebs in the corner by the bed but overall the place was very clean. I would highly recommend this holiday home and hope to return next year.
-
"Everything was just as advertised."
Very comfortable and clean. The garden was a lovely relaxing and very dog friendly space. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning.
-
"The cottage was fantastic , with everything that you needed in the kitchen , lovely hob, oven and microwave , would have benefited from instruction manuals , also for the tv too."
The owner Ann rang us as we were approaching the cottage to open the gate by phone for us as she was out , the cottage was open for us and Anne came to introduce herself later , and gave us information about the village ect which was nice . We had a very hot week at the property . Anne let us pick some apples from her tree and I made a lovely apple cake when we arrived home . No visitor book available to write in ☹️ Which I love .

"Gorgeous cottage in a lovely setting-lovely host who is helpful and welcoming."

"Oh such a special place, spent 4 wonderful days here in July with my husband & dog Max"
-
"A wonderful property which is way more than what is needed for 2 people."
Everything you need and more is there, massive outside seating area, another table and chairs, another table and chairs in the garden, bbq. Dog friendly also, our dog had a ball going out the kitchen then coming through the bi-fold doors, massive garden totally secure for our dog. Anne (I never met Micheal) is a lovely person who was always at the end of a text or a shout over the fence if needed.

"Extremely happy with the property and our stay at Highfield Cottage, it's beautiful, facilities were excellent, extremely clean, everything was high spec and luxurious, amazing views."
Location perfect. The host Anne was lovely and very accommodating. We would stay at Highfield Cottage again in a heart beat!! Can not recommend this cottage and the host highly enough. Thank you. Amanda :-)
-
"Lovely property, and garden, felt very secure."
-
"Great stay."
Anne was exceptionally welcoming and despite our late arrival. The accommodation was great, exceptionally comfortable, spacious with all the amenities we needed for the three days. We were exceptionally comfortable. It was wonderful to have a secure garden area for our dog. The whole trip was hassle free. Would definitely revisit. We would have liked to have less planned days and therefore enjoy the property more. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
-
"One of the most beautiful cottages we've stayed in!"
Anne is an excellent host, always on hand to answer any queries but also respectful of your privacy. The cottage had everything we needed, fixtures and fittings being of the highest quality. We really wanted to stay longer and will definitely be back!
-
"Beautiful property located in a lovely village."
The owners were very friendly and left us a lovely welcome surprise as we were celebrating. Garden is amazing, the dog had a great time. The property is finished to a high standard and we had everything we needed for our stay. Local pub served amazing food and they were so welcoming. Overall had a brilliant stay and would definitely visit again.
-
"We had a wonderful, restful stay at Highfield with, given the time of the year, some very pleasant weather."
The facilities provided are all of a very high standard and Anne and her daughter Imogen, made sure that we had no problems at all with our stay. The owners went out of their way to help us without, at any stage, being at all intrusive. The village has shops, a pub and a restaurant and there is no need to travel further for any supplies. A lovely village and a great holiday home.
-
"We found the cottage very comfortable and welcoming."
The layout is modern, open plan and extremely well appointed. The colour themes and interior design are excellent. The dogs enjoyed the outside space and the close proximity to the canal made walking the dogs easy and enjoyable.We had an extremely relaxing holiday. We hope to go back...
-
"A well appointed property in lovely surroundings."
The garden was fully enclosed which was good as we had a dog with us. The view from the garden is beautiful. Great canal walks nearby. The village has a good pub, fish and chip shop and local co-op. There is also a very good butchers shop too. There is also an outside plug which enabled us to charge up our EV car which was an added bonus.
-
"The property is fully equipt with everything you need for your stay (only thing missing is a baking tray) and the view out the back of the garden is beautiful."
There are great local amenities such as a Co op, a butchers, a deli, chippy and a pub. The property is also a good base for visiting the local area and further afield. Some great places to visit are: Cleethorpes (Fitties Beach is great for dogs), Lincoln, Clumber Park, Sherwood Forest and Creswell Crags. However, there were a few things that would of made our stay even better: Firstly, on arrival we were instructed to call the owners to gain access to the property but nobody answered. Luckily the gardener was there and let us in but this meant we didn't have a welcome from the owners. Secondly, there were a few cleaning issues: There was dog mess in the garden, dead flies and wasps on the floor and dust and cobwebs around the property. Lastly, parts of the garden needed tending to as there are weeds and brambles. I would also like to mention that there is farm and lorry road noise that can be heard in the property. Over all, we had a lovely holiday and thank you for our stay.

"Gorgeous cottage in a stunning setting."
Cold beer and Prosecco on arrival was a lovely thought and much appreciated. The cottage is well equipped and the garden really is beautiful and very dog friendly too. We throughly enjoyed watching the sun set over the fields after lazy days exploring the local villages and walking the canals. Would highly recommend - hosts are lovely and we felt very welcome.
-
"Beautiful cottage and enclosed garden for the dogs to run round in."
Anne and Michael next door were so lovely and welcoming. Great little deli in the village. We had a fabulous time.
-
"Cannot recommend this Cottage enough."
The owners (Anne & Michael) could not be more helpful, the cottage, the garden and views, location, cleanliness and general provisions are first class. Will definitely be revisiting.

"Highfield Cottage was a great location for our week away visiting family and friends post Covid-19 lockdown."
We felt safe and were made to feel very welcome. The cottage is beautifully decorated with lots of lovely finishing touches. There is a fabulous secure garden which was perfect for our two dogs. We would highly recommend it and look forward to returning in the future.

"The cottage was beautiful."
Very clean, comfortable and modern. Ann and Michael were very pleasant and helpful. Ann was there to welcome us and she was lovely. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to relax. Our spaniel enjoyed the nearby canal, and went for a swim most days. The garden was lovely, and quite big, with a gorgeous view. Thank you for a perfect staycation.

"Just perfect!"
Beautiful cottage with lots of space and a nice garden with a seating area that just makes your day. Immaculate condition and spotless clean! The owners were also very nice and Anne give some really good ideas for a walk with my dog and the main spots in the village. Walking distance from a pub, some take away places and a supermarket and many, many miles of walking trails! Definitely recommend! Thank you Anne and Michael
