Simon
We really enjoyed the stay, especially the stunning views from the deck and hot tub - absolutely loved it! The welcome hamper was a sweet touch. That said, the outdoor and indoor areas could’ve been cleanerand the wifi was pretty useless outside without a booster. Still, overall, a lovely holiday!
Emma Roberts
We really enjoyed our stay; the cottage was lovely and in a great spot. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, which was a bonus. The location made exploring easyand the property itself was charming. A couple of things could be improved-like updating the pots, pansand utensils a bit. Also, we received daily reminders about the booking and directions, which felt a tad excessive since we’d already saved those details. Still, overall, a good experience!
