  We had a 2 night stay here after a camping trip and was greeted by the lovely owners who showed us round.

  Emma was brilliant with the children and directed them to the secret mud kitchen in the woods that was just beautiful. Theres lots for the children to do and play with. We were gifted some lemon cake and homemade juice which was absolutely yummy!!! The glamping tent was huge and comfortably slept all 5 of us whilst giving us lots of space within the main area of the tent. The cupboard bedroom was a real hit with my daughter. We had a hot tub which was super easy to get going (do this as soon as you can to be able to enjoy it as soon as you arrive). The grounds are just breathtaking as well as the peace and tranquility. We were offered to do the farm tour but my children decided to sleep in, so I embraced the opportunity to sit outside with a cuppa. The tent is so clean and tidy and felt like we were the first ones using it. The beds are really comfy and slept amazing.... we really wished we had stayed longer. Be prepared for absolute darkness at night, so an extra torch needs to be packed. We also took our gas stove for a quick brew in the morning rather than waiting for the stove to heat up which i would recommend taking.... also do remember to take slippers. We didn't do much exploring further out of the site as we were quite happy to explore the grounds and relax. We will definitely return if we are ever down south again. Thank you Aller Farm Camping x

  For a cottage that will accommodate 4 people, there were only 2 chairs in the garden.

  The garden was overgrown and had an upturned wheelbarrow as a back gate which our dog nearly lept over. There was no welcome information left for us which would have been nice. There was an innocuous looking basket on the floor in the sitting room which contained some details about the local area - we didn't notice this until the last evening of our stay. This would have been better served if it were left by the visitor book. It would have been nice to have some history of the cottage i.e. age, original use, old photos etc. This could have been made as a wall hanging or even just some laminated sheets left on the table for occupants to read. The bolt off the bottom half of the stable door was missing which meant we couldn't leave it open for ventilation as the dog would dissappear into the insecure garden. The cottage has potential but the owners need to invest more time & effort into it

  Very steep stairs to first floor and steep stairs to main bedroom not mentioned in property details although uneven floors are which is good.

  The property should not be described as having 2 bathrooms as there is only one bathroom and a very small en-suite shower room. Very disappointing to find that the pub mentioned in the details is closed which was very inconvenient as we’d planned to eat there and having to do food shops took time out of our holiday. Having said all that the cottage was well equipped with quality white goods and oven and the bedding was spotless. The milk and bread which was provided for our arrival was most welcome and a lovely surprise to find. We didn’t use the garden but it was exceptionally pretty and had lots of birds which was pleasing. I would like to suggest that a hairdryer would be a very useful item to offer. All in all a great little cottage in an extremely quiet area close to A303 and A30 and considering the cottage is terraced there was no noise nuisance from any of the other cottages.

  Cottage was pretty much as expected from a 19c building it was quite dark that was expected.

  Very clean but wardrobes were musty and didn't want to put clothes in them. Lovely cottage garden but becoming overgrown, and where was the gate! Info stated enclosed garden. We all know, no garden is 100% get out proof but garden lead onto shared space with neighbour and I'm sure they wouldn't want dogs in their garden. Also the A303 was not far from back garden, scary if dogs got out. Just to point out there was little or no info about places and local walks etc. Owners do usually leave a little something eg milk or bread but nothing at all except an empty basket saying welcome! Think theymust be new to renting.

  We loved our stay at Red Roof again, but we were very disappointed to find that the jamming kitchen door from the stairs had still not been planed-back (after we reported this last November!

  ) to ensure that the door closes without jamming shut! Also, one of our dogs escaped through the rear garden latch gate, because the latch doesn’t work at all and the gate has been put on the wrong way round…the gate should open inwards towards the garden, not outwards. If this had been installed the correct way round, our dog would have found it very difficult to escape towards the A303 dual carriageway, even if the latch didn’t work! It scared the living daylights out of us while we tried to find our dog in the pitch black, thinking the worse that our beloved Ollie had run out onto the A303!
