"This is a lovely cottage, if it was positioned elsewhere."
We left after 2 nights of the 3 due to the noise from the garage next door. We sleep with windows open and the noise stopped us sleeping. On the second night there was a delivery to the shop at the garage at 5.00am which went on for half an hour at least with pallets crashing off the back of a large lorry.
You map makes it appear the cottage is further away from the garage which is very misleading, instead of the actual 5 ish metres.
Michael, thank you for your feedback. The map is produced by google maps, therefore I am afraid there is nothing I can do to change this or the time the deliveries are made to the convenience store.
We are sorry the location didn't work for you.

"We had a great stay at the Cottage, it is on the corner of a busy road, and the petrol station / Asda is next door, during the day we had the back door open for the dogs and we didn’t notice the noise, and with the windows closed at night the noise from traffic is very low."
The Asda is very well stocked. The village is lovely the staff at the red lion very nice and friendly, found the bells pub less welcoming but that could be due to the dogs? The pot house hamlet was great, lovely food and the aromaholidays shop excellent. Lovely walks literally on the doorstep. The house was superbly equipped even to the dog toys/beds/towels/ treats provided. The owners have gone above and beyond to make it a true home from home. The bedrooms clean and beds very comfortable, lovely art work on the walls. We would definately stay again. 5⭐️ from the humans and 4
Dear Julie,
Thank you so much for your detailed review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the cottage as much as the village itself. I'll have a chat with the team in the bells as it is supposed to be dog friendly !!
Thank you again and we do hope you will visit again soon.

"Our second stay at this property and once again it did not disappoint."
We had 3 dogs with us and they were well catered for. The garden is secure and paved so no muddy feet to clean. Dog bowls, toys and treats were available. The humans had a great stay too, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Comfy beds, sofas and a wonderful homely feel. Fantastic dog walk a stones throw from the cottage and a dog friendly pub across the road. Cannot recommend this property highly enough!

Hi cottage was clean and spacious , beds were comfortable , plenty of room , good fenced garden but VERY NOISY , even in evenings , DIDNT realise cottage was right next door to co op garage and car park, we could hear traffic in car park in bed and sometimes till gone midnight , sofa on left as you walk in was rock hard even with a topper i bought to make it more comfortable, i slipped and fell down on step into dinning room area with my socks on , luckily i was ok , i have had a few back ops and have a dodgy hip but i was ok, the step is very slippy with socks on , lovey walks from door , and beautiful scenery very nearby , i would definitely go to area again but make sure next cottage is no where near a main /busy road and busy garage/car park , i had read a few reviews and understood co op /garage was across from cottage not actually next door to cottage , kitchen very well equipped , i dont like pulling cottage down but im being honest and think it should be said where position of cottage is , we wouldn’t have booked it but others would , it is a lovely spacious cottage just shame about position /sofa/step thats why we left 3 nights early but area and walks Lovely

"The cottage was absolutely delightful, beautifully clean and well equipped."
The welcome pack of cup cakes and Prosecco was a really nice touch.Great walks directly from the cottage,which suited our two labradors. The dogs loved their box of toys and treats provided.Used the cottage as a base for visiting family and friends in Barnsley, which worked really well. The bedrooms could possibly benefit from blackout curtains as there was a lot of light from adjacent garage. Will definitely be back to the cottage when visiting Barnsley .Would highly recommend.

"This place is amazing, super comfy and cozy, there's an amazing astetic to it."
Furniture and beds are very comfortable. Good room to put clothes and luggage. Facilities there is pretty much everything you need cooking wise extra light bulbs etc, more that anywhere else I've been. Parking can be a bit tricky as most people park by the side off the house on the road. For me the best time to visit would be autumn/winter time, as although the cottage is next too the petrol station inside the house you can't really here the traffic but if you do sit outside you can here everything, but as stated indoors you can't hear anything. The people in the area as well as the pubs are really friendly, something you don't get in the cities. Perfect holiday!
Hello Michael, thank you so much for your feedback, I did hear that Willow settled in to village life and even watched the football in the local village pub ... It's a funny one ref the best time to visit as in the summer, you can really enjoy the patio and open the patio doors leading out onto the enclosed area , whilst enjoying the sights and sounds of the stream and people walking past.
I'm really pleased you all enjoyed the area and the cozy, comfy cottage. We hope to see you back soon.

"Absolutely lovely property with everything you could wish for."
Beautifully decorated to a high specification and a great deal of thought gone into our stay for the week.
The big problem with it was that it was on a very busy main road and was very noisy when sitting outside and at night having the Coop next door,and with windows open, made it hard to sleep.
Plenty of great walks for the dogs and in sight if 2 lovely pubs. Such a shame it's so close to the A628.

"Being next to a petrol station and on a busy A-road let this otherwise beautifully appointed cottage down."
However the cottage itself is a credit to the owners and the cleaner - everything we and the dogs could have wanted was provided.
The wide pavement between the cottage and the road enabled us to park the car in front of the cottage.
The woods and playing fields behind were great for walking the dogs but required tight leads for two lively spaniels to get there due to the road or across the petrol station forecourt to the playing fields.
The Bells pub serves food Wed - Sun. Our stay was Mon - Thurs.
On close inspection of the location map supplied, the pin is over the row of cottages behind The Cottage giving the impression it is further away from the road and petrol station and no hint in the photos or description. The co-op shop in the petrol station was convenient and the only shop in walking distance. Just a fews steps away across the petrol station forecourt.
The owners have made this historic cottage perfect once inside. Quiet when doors and windows shut.
A good location for exploring the local area but not the quiet, country cottage that may be expected.
Hello Rosie,
Thank you for the above. The A road can be busy mainly first thing in the morning and last thing at night, but the rest of the day its pretty normal. The walk to the woods, we too keep our 2 cocker spaniels on leads, however once in there the routes from the woods are exciting and don't require a lead which our dogs are grateful for...
Really pleased you love what we have done with cottage, renovating it was hard work. Did you walk down to the Pot House Hamlet for breakfast or lunch? The Bells, has just changed it's opening hours, so I will update the website.
Thank you for your review , if you do prefer a rural location please do take a look at our other cottage via Sykes - The Old Post Office Bull Bay.
Many thanks Liz
