    The only one single thing I could fault was the mattress on the bed was so so soft that it gave me a bad back!

    The location, the decor, the finishing touches, the little extras.

    The access to road. Only because I had to reverse everytime I came to a bend for other drivers. Aaaargh. Loved the rural countryside location thou.

    Loved the Cody sweet cottage. Furniture flowed with the cottage theme. Beautiful stay, homely and clean.

    The kitchen: Due to the curved (convex) base of the only available, and therefore practically useless, frying pan, we used the aforementioned extremely aged utensil only when absolutely necessary. It was only possible to heat the very centre of pan. This fact was, of course, very frustrating and a great pity. Not to mention the formidable amount of energy needed to heat a "bulged" frying pan. We were unable to find any operating instructions for either the oven and heating elements, the microwave oven, or any other of the available appliances. Fortunately, we had brought our own cutlery. The knives which we found in the kitchen drawer are, in our opinion, totally impractical for eating with.

    Beautiful area, quiet and charming surroundings. The internal facilities were clean, neat and tidy. Most furnishings, appliances and other accessories were of exemplary quality. Fresh milk on arrival, TWO TVs! And even a bunch of flowers in the vase 😀

    Not the best if an adult is planning to sleep on the sofa bed but otherwise very comfortable and peaceful

    The location was beautiful, the house was immaculate and very cute and cosy. We loved the views and the cows visiting in the mornings.

    This cottage is absolutely stunning, me and my wife stayed here just before our wedding and waking up to that view in the morning was absolutely magical. The absolutely perfect place to stay and we will hopefully be back for our anniversary.

    The mirror had broken & there was a small replacement mirror there, but does need a larger mirror in the bathroom. Someone has also broken the soap holder. Needs a decent mattress, to thin, had a bad sleep 😴 Needs instructions how to use the stove top.

    Supern location, thought of everything. Really loved it, but just needs a couple of things fixed. Loved the photo book... we'll done on your renovation.

    I would have liked a toaster in the property rather than use the grill which is part of the oven, this did not take away from our stay just what we are used to at home.

    We were aware the property was not close to any local shops or pubs when we booked, the peace and tranquility was really lovely and we would definitely return to the property in the future.

    Pull out sofa bed duvet could be better. It was too thin and got lost inside the duvet cover. Just a small recommendation. Everything else was great.

    Very cosy and well equipped. Had everything we needed

    The only thing that could have been better for us is if we had been able to stay longer and the weather, it’s easy to see how guests would enjoy using the outside space, wish we’d had time to! Next time!

    We adored the peaceful location, the calming views, great communication with hosts, lovely little romantic touches. We loved that the hosts included so many little pockets of local knowledge in the space and also an album of their family during the barn conversion journey, inspiring and beautiful. They provided everything needed for making a brew, for cooking our own meals,
