  This is a great cottage with easy access to excellent walking and the wonderful Chesters cafe is next door.

  A few things to highlight, the house was very dusty the units, tables and bedside drawers had not been dusted for some time, this was a shame as the rest of the cleanliness of the cottage was good. There are no instructions for anything in the cottage, no wifi info, nothing on how to work the TV - note it only has streaming ie i player, ITVX channels, as the normal 'live TV' does not work. No instructions on how to operate the dishwasher or washing machine ( we did work this out) but an information pack on the facilities would have been very useful. Again no information on the heating, it was clearly timed which is what I would expect but no way of overriding this so if we got back early from a run, the house was cold and we had to wait until 4pm when the heating clicked on. The log burner would have been perfect but there were no logs, no means of using at all and no information on where local logs/kindling/firelighters etc could be purchased so sadly we could not make use of this, which was a shame. Excellent location, would return again, just a few things could be improved.

  This is a lovely, comfortable cottage in a beautiful location ideal for walking.

  It is nicely furnished and decorated. There are many books, games and jigsaws available. The bathroom is modern and has both a bath and a walk-in shower that has a good water flow. The additional en-suite is very useful. Thei ktchen is well equipped with utensils, but I've never come across one so devoid of kitchen consumables: no kitchen paper, foil, cling film, etc, not even washing up liquid, brush or sponges, and just one tea towel for the week; a washing machine but no detergent. It is aggravating, on your first morning, to have to delay your planned walk and drive to buy the necessary to wash your dishes. (The dinner plates, incidentally, are too big for the dishwasher and prevent the arms rotating.) I found that surprising and disappointing in an otherwise well equipped cottage. Also surprising, given its location, among the many books available there are no local walking guides or maps. But come prepared and you'll find this cottage very satisfactory. We would certainly come again.

  Overall we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and may stay there again in the future.

  That said, when we arrived we were unpleasantly surprised by the amount of cobwebs along the ceiling throughout the house and especially in the bathroom. We also found a lot of kitchen utensils in the drawers that were not properly cleaned. Additionally, the ceiling is rather low for two very average Dutch people (approx. 1.81m tall), but this never really posed a serious problem after we got used to it. I did bump my head a few times on the low beams though. The cottage is very cosy and well-furnished. The kitchen and living room are well-equipped and the bed was fine. We did occasionally hear some noise from upstairs as others have pointed out, but this was comparable to the noise we sometimes hear from our upstairs neighbour in our own flat. Perhaps previous guests had the misfortune of having very noisy upstairs neighbours or the privilege of not living in a flat. All in all, we liked our stay in Woodloft Cottage and would recommend it to others.

  On Wednesday morning, we were advised by the owner of number 1 that there was a water supply problem into the holding tank.

  We were advised not to use the shower or bath and fill containers with water. On Thursday morning, we were unable to have a shower or bath. I messaged you by Whatsapp on Thursday afternoon to advise you of this. On Friday, there was no hot water at all so we were forced to have cold showers. I messaged you repeatedly on Whatsapp but did not get a single meaningful response to indicate that you were following this up. I phoned you on Friday afternoon after eventually being able to get a phone signal, and you advised that a separate team receive these messages. As I said to you, is there no communication between teams? It is utterly brainless and from a customer service perspective, very very poor. I would like to be compensated for this - either as an ex gratia payment or a complementary voucher towards a future stay. I expect you to extend the courtesy of a reply to this message.

  The property was as advertised.

  A small but cosy house in a good location to be based. Lots of hikes and bike routes on the door stop and the local shop has all the essentials. The larger bedroom was a good size and had a super king-size bed. The kitchen was well stock and whilst the bathroom was downstairs it worked well as a drying room after longs days hiking in the rain. The wifi connection was good. The tv is old and the dvd player doesn't work properly any more. Would be useful to have a smart tv, even a small one so we are able to use our streaming services. All in all a good value place to stay. Our only issue was perhaps the amount of dog hair in the place. We don't have dogs and there was dog hair every where downstairs; on all the rugs and even the kitchen floor. There was even a poo bag left out by the front door.
