"A lovely, relaxing stay at Bumble Bee cottage."

Well equipped, spotlessly clean, everything has been done to a very high standard. Welcome basket was a perfect greeting, hosts Lynne and David made us feel very welcome and were most helpful. One of the nicest cottages I’ve stayed in, would definitely recommend

"Perfect holiday cottage, easy access, friendly owner and close to places of interest."

The cottage is also well equipped and maintained and the two bedrooms with on-suite are extremely comfortable. Only minor item for us as elderly people are the benches and seats, it is not easy to sit in a upright position. Regarding the EV charge, which was easy and according normal charge, it is to be preferred to put the kw-price on the web to avoid surpices.

"Great cottage."

Appreciated the seamless check in and privacy. Your welcome items were also a lovely touch. Beds were comfy, place was v. clean and well appointed. Couple of suggestions: The automatic lights in the hallway were problematic for young kids sleeping. Maybe they are required for fire code or something, but both the clicking noise and bright lights were disruptive. Also, it would be great to have some hand soap in the bathrooms. Finally, we needed more than 4 sets of plates, bowls, etc - having only 4 was a bit limited. Thank you for a great stay!

Very pleased you enjoyed your stay in the cottage. We have addressed the need for more crockery and have put in extra sets of plates, bowls etc, there are also soap dispensers in the bathroom - thanks for that feedback. With regards to the hall lighting, the fire doors to the bedrooms should be closed so I am surprised that the children were disturbed by the light and clicking noise however I have contacted our electrician to see if these can be changed to manual if required.

"The cottage and owners provide a very warm welcome for a perfect and very relaxing holiday experience."

The property is exceptionally comfortable. The location is close to Sustrans Route 3 so cyclists can explore the local area, including the historic aspects of the Great Western Canal system leading to Bridgewater or Tiverton. Walkers will enjoy good rambling in the fields and river banks accessible straight from the front door. Shops and interesting pubs are in easy reach. For those interested in trombones the nearby John Packer superstore is an Aladdin's Cave of delights.

So pleased your enjoyed your holiday, it was lovely to meet you both. Many thanks for the great review. Property Owner
