  We booked the same cottage that we rented last year.

  It’s very compact but it does the job for the week and the location is convenient and quiet. Last year after our stay we were asked to write a review - and generally I gave a good overall rating. I did however give the owner a private snagging list of things we thought would be helpful for them to know and which would hopefully make other guests have a better experience. Little things like the knobs on the inside of the bathroom door were pulling off and the toilet roll holder on the wall was very loose and near to falling off. There was no veg peeler in the kitchen drawer and no small oven trays to cook food on in the oven so we had to use the huge grill pan instead. The fridge is a larder fridge with no freezer compartment. The toaster was also faulty with the heating elements only working on 3 sides. Returning to the same property this year we found the issues in the bathroom have been addressed however, we were disappointed to find that the kitchenette is exactly as it was. Fortunately we brought with us our own utensils and disposable metal trays. There were no oven gloves available and the washing up liquid was watered down. After our visit last year the owners of the property probably thought they’d never see us again and probably thought the missing/faulty items in the kitchenette were too minor to bother with. I’m of a different opinion and feel strongly enough to put my views into my public review. Additionally the property is quite dusty this visit and overall looks less well cared for. The yard outside is a jungle of weeds and very uninviting and one of the neighbours was very unwelcoming and told us we shouldn’t be parking on the cobbles. Our decision is that we won’t be returning to this particular property again.

  The property is lovely.

  The views are exceptional. The suite in the lounge has been updated and is now a comfortable brown leather, with double reclining couch. The main bed is very comfortable, but it only has a double quilt. I brought my king-size quilt in, because I find a double quilt on a double bed is not big enough. And the mattress protector and sheet were very tight and kept moving in the night - they were a bit of a nuisance. The kitchen is well-equipped, but some things are missing like foil or cling film, or tongs. They may not be a problem for most. And I was surprised that there is no washing machine, with it being walking country. The bathroom was very clean, but the grout and sealant need replacing all around. The front garden was fairly secure for my little dog, although more adventurous ones would jump the low fence. And I would plead with other guests to please pick up after your dog. I picked up lots of mess that had been left. The rear yard is not enclosed and my dog decided to explore and ended up in someone's garden at the end of the block! All in all, a very nice place in a lovely setting. Would recommend.

  The cottage is in a very nice location and benefits from lovely views.

  The kitchen is well-equipped (although a few more plates are needed) and the rooms are overall spacious. However the house is in need of a deep clean, there is mildew on all the window frames and mouldy patches on walls. The bathroom needs updating and the floor tiles are very slippery so caution is advised for anyone with young children or mobility issues. The central heating is controlled by a timer and only comes on at certain times (early morning, midday for one hr only and in the evening) which was inconvenient if you needed warmth during daytime and you weren't out all day. Please note that the cottage is not connected to water mains supply and tap water is coming from springs in the area, therefore unchlorinated. We used bottled water for drinking. This was not stated in the listing and it is important for people with weakened immunity/babies or ones who want to avoid buying bottled water.

  The property and grounds are even better than the photos suggest, don’t be put off by the nearby industry because your a million miles from that once your at the place.

  The rooms are spacious & decorated to a high standard & add to this a well equipped modern kitchen & a superb church feeling dinning area, there’s a great choice of bedrooms with different bed arrangements & toilets etc with comfy large beds with plenty of bedding etc. Outside there is a beautiful kept lawn & grounds & also a large outside dinning table & water features, behind the property there’s a wood to walk & explore or walk the dog , then back indoors there’s beds provided to let them relax. The owner Neil is very welcoming & nothing seems an effort for him & is always willing to help you & will do anything to make your stay an enjoyable one & is also the most dog friendly rental I’ve ever come across. I genuinely couldn’t pick a fault with the property or the owner.

  It was my 50th birthday celebration with my friends we all enjoyed our stay so much at Woodbottom Farm.

  The house was very spacious and the bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely and big. The kitchen & dining room were lovely decorated and big, they need to be for the food and alcohol(mainly the alcohol). Could have done with a bigger fridge and some cooking utensils and a cutlery draw. We did the walk to the Folly Dolly Falls which only took 20 mins, so we carried on to the town to visit the pubs. We got a taxi back and was surprised at the low cost for a mini bus it was £6. Neil & Sharon were lovely hostess so thank you for letting my friends in a little early to decorate the house with my face and birthday banners. Thank you to them both and their lovely holiday home.
