The welcome pack is highly praised, though some guests noted it could be more generous. The lack of mobile signal and challenging access in adverse weather are mentioned, but the overall experience is positive with many planning to return.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating a high standard.
The location is praised for its beauty and tranquillity, with great walks straight from the cottage. However, the access road's condition and lack of mobile signal slightly affect the score.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with comfy beds and a homely feel. Minor comments about lighting and a log burner issue are noted.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen. Some guests experienced issues with a toilet and log burner, and a few mentioned a lack of certain items.
While the welcome pack is often mentioned positively, there are inconsistent reports about its size and contents, and no specific mention of gifts. Therefore, it's not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness.
The cottage has been delightfully restored to a very high standard and is decorated in a traditional style. It is the perfect secluded and tranquil spot, nestled in woodland and overlooking a field and benefiting from three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Really liked the property. 1 issue, the welcome letter promised 10% discount at Bodnant Welsh Foods, but they wouldn't honour it

Did not quite reach the very high srandards of other rural retreat holiday, felt like it needed a bit of a spruce up, but it was in the most beautiful surroundings
Confirmed Guest
Excellent in all respects, super clean, comfortable and cosy cottage, just perfect! Comfy beds, loads of space for our family, a well equipped kitchen - better than mine at home to be honest! - and we loved the Welcome Hamper, a really lovely touch. Could not fault this lovely cottage, will definitely be going back!
