  The cottage was beautiful, exceptionally clean, very spacious and well laid out and furnished very tastefully and to a high standard.

  In many respects, it’s the best cottage we’ve stayed in. It has 3 proper double bedrooms that were well furnished and had comfy beds. The kitchen / living / dining area was fantastic and we enjoyed beautiful expansive views and sunsets from the large windows. Parking was easy and close by. The track is very well maintained. Despite it being on a working livery yard / farm, everywhere was exceptionally clean. Sue is a great host and super chilled. This is a really great place for adults. We were disappointed that there was nowhere the children could safely play or where we could eat outside. There wasn’t an enclosed patio / garden, as we’d understood from the listing, or table and chairs either. Horses, cars and the toilet block meant the children could never be left outside. We weren’t aware that there’s a pond very close by, hidden by trees. The many blinds are not child safe (hanging risk), including in the bedrooms. While everything is furnished and maintained to an exceptionally high standard - much of it looked brand new - the fridge is very small for the size of the property. It was somewhat basic compared with similar places we’ve stayed eg no dishwasher or dryer, no coffee machine, ice cube tray, no ice bricks, no oil or vinegar. There was no DVD player, on demand TV (we don’t think), radio or speaker. We pegged washing on the line, as invited but it was shared with the owner and the other cottage. There was nowhere to do a bbq. Aside from a few toddler toys, there were none for older children and no games, DVD’s, books, maps, local info about walks in the immediate vicinity or about the property (bins, Wi-Fi etc) that we are used to. However, when we asked, we received the information very promptly. There was no milk when we arrived. Once the local shop has closed, it’s about a 6 - mile drive each way to get some and to pick up essentials that are usually provided in cottages.

  We recently had the pleasure of staying at Pipistrelle holiday cottage, and I must say, the experience exceeded all our expectations.

  From the moment we stepped through the door, it was evident that the accommodation was outstanding. My wife and I tend to bring everything with us when traveling to holiday rentals, but at Pipistrelle, we needn't have bothered. These hosts have truly thought of everything, leaving us feeling utterly pampered. The welcome gifts were a delightful surprise, setting the tone for our stay. Moreover, the standard of the cottage itself was exceptional. In fact, I can confidently say that this cottage is the best we have ever rented. It's fully equipped with every amenity imaginable, from the luxurious underfloor heating to the convenience of TVs in both bedrooms. And let's not forget the highlight of our stay – the wonderful hot tub in the back garden, which provided the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. One aspect that particularly impressed us was the cleanliness of the cottage. It was spotless upon our arrival, a testament to the care and attention to detail of the hosts. Honestly, we struggled to find anything to criticize. If I had to nitpick, the only thing I would change is the ability to transport the entire cottage to Scotland with us. That's how much we loved it! Overall, our experience at Pipistrelle holiday cottage was nothing short of magical. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly unforgettable getaway. Huge thanks to the hosts for creating such a haven of relaxation and luxury. We can't wait to return!

  The accomodation is set in a very beautiful and serene area.

  The weather was wet most of the time that we were on our holiday so the comforts of this accommodation helped us keep warm and the facilities provided were everything we needed for a lovely holiday away from home. There were several family games left on the shelf to keep us busy in the evening too. The hot tub helped to warm up after a cold day outside. The welcome package provided by the owners was a huge bonus. How generous of the owners to go out of their way to provide numerous treats for both the grownups and the children in the family; a big thank you to them for their very warm welcome. The goats in their paddock adjoining the backyard were a pleasant sight every morning; the children loved interacting with them. We would definitely visit again.

  A few welcome essentials and treats were there for us on our arrival and we were warmly greeted by the host.

  The property was spotless! Simple in design and spacious airy rooms with high ceilings! Facilities were as new with every need catered for. Lovely kitchen with quality appliances and the bathrooms with powerful hot showers! We are not normally fans of wet rooms but these were of a good design and with the underfloor heating dried floors quite quickly! The hot tub was that extra special addition which just made the stay even more fun and relaxing! Excellent location! Hidden away yet easy access to shops, pubs and restaurants. The friendly goats in the field at the back provided their own bit of entertainment! . Overall simply a lovely stay and to be recommended.

  We had a fantastic week at Pipistrelle!

  The cottage is immaculately clean, well presented and there was a fab welcome pack waiting for us. There is a lovely garden area with BBQ and seating where you can watch the goats playing (they are really friendly and our girls talked to them a lot!) and the hot tub is amazing - again really clean and well maintained ... perfect to relax in. There is plenty to do and see within the local area and also access to shops and places to eat. The owners were on hand if needed and were lovely with our girls who enjoyed visiting their chickens and the ducks. We would highly recommend to families or couples. Thank you for a wonderful week!
