  The property was comfortable but there was a few things that disappointed us.

  The saucepans were in a damp cupboard and were not clean so put us off cooking. Although there was a year's supply of cleaning sponges. There was no foil available or cooking oil. Not major but would have been nice. There was only 1 and a half toilet rolls which was not enough for a 5 night stay. We ended up using the kitchen roll, which was not ideal. It would also have been nice to have some liquid hand soap in the bathroom. As the property accepts dogs it would have been really nice to have a gate so the dogs could be let out safely, but reading other comments this is not going to happen, although it was ok for the calor gas man to come and completely disrupt the front area without putting things back where they were. The bedroom had not been dusted or cleaned for quite a while because on the red headboard you could clearly see the accumulation of dust. It would have been nice to have a bin upstairs in the bedroom. On the plus side, it was really helpful having the torches at hand to be able to let the dogs out in the evening. The TV facilities were excellent but could not find the DVD player. Lovely location, no mobile signal but good WiFi and landline for emergencies.

  Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 2 Lock Cottages.

  The field with the deer was a wonderful surprise & the peace & quiet was exactly what was needed for a romantic recharge. Location was ideal for exploring the area; somewhere we'd never been but intend to return for more exploration. The sofa is a little uncomfortable with the wooden arms but nothing a few more cushions wouldn't sort out. TV is a generous size which can sometimes be an issue in holiday lets. Wifi was strong & reliable thankfully as its so far off grid there's no mobile data. Lovely! The bathroom was very clean with good water pressure & nice reliable hot water to the rainfall shower. We thought an awning over the little yard would be a nice addition with perhaps a bench under to just soak up the quiet & fresh air. It rained a lot during our stay so that would also have been nice to sit under and listen to the rain. The bed was very comfortable - we slept very well. The information leaflets & book were a nice addition too to help us plan our visit. Great holiday rental property for a couple. Would definitely recommend.

  When we used the cottage last year the weather was good and we enjoyed our holiday and the cottage with our dog, Rosie.

  Sadly we lost Rosie at the end of last year but used the cottage anyway. Everything was as last year except the weather. It was very cold and we felt the central heating wasn't adequate. One evening I had 3 pairs of socks on to try and get my feet warm and had my fleece jacket over my legs. Likewise, my sister had a spare cardigan over her legs. Although the CH was set at a top rate of 22 degrees our clock barometer never read more than 16 degrees. If we put the electric fire on the CH went off and therefore, sadly, we were cold the whole time we were there which downrated our holiday. Apart from that the cottage is usually comfortable and certainly adequate but we were disappointed this time.

  The cottage was very clean indeed with an extremely comfortable bed however the sofa bed in the Living Room is not ideal to use as a permanent sofa.

  We felt the upstairs balustrade was too low and a light fitting (2 way switch) at the bottom of the stairwell would be practical particularly when making nocturnal visits downstairs to use the bathroom facilities. One of the hot plates on the hob (left hand side front) was usable but when turned off the indicator light remained on. In effect the hot plate did not turn off at all. The only way to turn it off completely was to use the main electrical switch. The setting, where the cottage is located, is absolutely gorgeous and so very quiet. The local residents are kind and friendly, and yes they do speed down the lane in their vehicles - so beware. There are lots of places to visit, walk and enjoy.

  Beautiful little cottage with great use of space .

  Generally clean and tidy with beautifully comfortable king size bed and amazingly hot and powerful shower. We couldn’t plan for the weather and it wasn’t great but the cottage was a very comfortable to live in. We hadn’t realised that the couch was also a bed and might have opted to sleep downstairs as the stairs (steps) were a bit difficult to manoeuvre for me. That said, it was worth the climb for the bed. Very remote, but good WiFi and drains were a bit smelly. Nothing the zoflora left under the sink didn’t help with. Thanks, we enjoyed our visit but left Friday evening as it would have been a strain to get sorted and out for 10am Saturday ….and a long trip home.
