"We have spent a very enjoyable weekend in your beautiful property and enjoying ourselves in our late years with our 61, 59 & 52 year old children giving their mother their undivided attention for a good reason."
Thank you for letting us use your property for a special reason.

"Amazing cottage, had a relaxing time, lovely shower, kitchen just blew us away."
Loved the patio decking in the sunshine.

"The property is lovely, spacious, well equipped, nicely furnished and decorated."
Excellent location with no significant noise from the abattoir, just the occasional large truck rumbling along the track at the rear. There were two matters which, for us personally, let it down… 1. The two sets of main stairs are both sharply curved with narrow treads. This makes it difficult to carry suitcases up and would also represent a challenge for older or less-mobile users. 2. Neither of the upstairs bathrooms has a suitable stand-up shower, just an attachment to the bath which is situated under a low sloping ceiling.
Thank you very much for your positive description of our property. We're sorry you found fault in a couple of areas - we have taken your comments on board and will ensure that future visitors are aware of these aspects of the property prior to booking. Property Owner

"Well equipped house in a nice quite area."
Nice large garden to play in with garden chair and table on decking. Was useful having a cot and highchair when we arrived. Unfortunately not at all clean. Sticky kitchen floor, crumbs on work top, toilets were not clean, towels had stains on and bedding did not smell fresh. Also garden is not child safe, no proper railing on decking.
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback and we're very sorry that you found the property unclean. Had we been informed of this on arrival we would have arranged a visit to rectify it, but we were only advised of the situation on your departure. Unfortunately there were no photographs provided, but we will be discussing it with our housekeepers and carrying out spot checks to ensure it is kept to the high standard we expect. The garden area is totally enclosed and the decking area is clearly visible on our website. We appreciate your positive comments. Property Owner

"We loved the cottage, a couple of helpful hints: it would be nice to have some more local area info, eg walks."
There were not any dishwasher tablets.

"The accommodation was very spacious and comfortable;however,those with mobility problems would find the steps to the ground floor bedroom difficult."
We were most concerned to discover that the "farm processing plant" is referred to as a slaughterhouse on the internet.Also,employees at this "plant"would arrive shortly after 5am, and 6am saw the arrival of a number of large lorries-hardly conducive to a peaceful and relaxing holiday being woken each morning by this traffic!

"It is a very spacious and homely cottage in a beautiful spot, situated within a short walk to local shop, pub and rail station."
The cottage was well equipped and comfortable. We were fortunate enough to be able to spend most of our time lounging outside on the large decking and made use of the bbq provided (charcoal required). The open plan kitchen/dining area is ideal for families/groups but we were a little surprised on arrival to find that the bin and dishwasher hadn’t been emptied. We were unable to find the grill pan in either oven. Fans for the upstairs bedrooms would’ve been a welcome addition during the hot weather. There is an animal disposal facility at the end of the lane and although the trucks do pass the house quite early in the morning and there was an occasional unpleasant smell, this was infrequent and certainly didn’t spoil our holiday. A minor issue with a smoke alarm was rectified promptly. Thank you. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in this very pleasant cottage. Thank you
