A very nice little cottage perfect for a few days away.
Only thing were the squeaky floor boards upstairs, but it is an old cottage so expected.

The cottage was a nice size. Very comfortable bed and kitchen was well equipped. Pleasant surroundings and neighbours.
Some of the crockery and glasses in the kitchen were not clean.
The shower head in the bathroom needs to be cleaned .
The bath was not clean and there was black mould in the sealant.

The cottage was nice and clean had a great kitchen with all you needed beds were comfortable but extra blankets would have made us more comfortable as we were quite cold
The heating was pre- set and we were unable to change it.
We only had enough hot water for 1 bath so our other children were disappointed and the second day there was no hot water we could not change settings on heating
There was a log burner but not enough small kindling for our second night and nothing to chop the large lumps of wood that were available
Also when using the burner the cottage became very smoky maybe the flue needs cleaning
We also sent our host photos of a couple of loose light fittings we found but they all worked and didn't effect our stay

The cottage is beautiful, the location is very quiet, everything would be perfect if it was clean
We pulled the sofa forward to be closer to the tv and it was filthy behind there. The shower head is covered in grime and needs a deep clean, the bathroom walls have toothpaste splatted on it, around the basin made me feel sick, please ask the cleaner to clean the whole way around the sink. The lamp in the bedroom is draping with cobwebs. The shower only does scorching hot or freezing cold.. definitely needs some maintenance. I am not writing this for everyone to see, it’s so taht you can get this sorted for the next customers. It is not pleasurable staying somewhere dirty

Quiet location with parking space, a cosy cottage. Comfortable sitting room. Good sized light bathroom with bath and shower. Kitchen very well equipped. Main bedroom well fitted out.
Second bedroom was very small with bunk beds, so not suitable for two adults wanting separate rooms. There was nowhere here to put your clothes, not even a chair.
Bathroom - the washbasin was very high and had no plug so not useful for anything.

Lovely little place in the countryside a 10 min drive from Flamingo Land (the purpose of our stay). Beautifully decorated, comfy beds and equipped with everything we needed. We weren't sure what to take with us in terms of tea, coffee, washing up liquid etc but everything provided including dishwasher tablets and coffee pods for the machine. The kitchen is fully equipped and even had a slow cooker so we utilised that for after long days out.
Other reviews commenting on the damage deposit. We were aware of it before booking, it's clearly stated in the information that it is required and I can't blame them for doing it either to prevent anyone not respecting the place. You don't get bombarded with emails either as some other reviews put. I think I had 4 or 5 but they were all valid and then 2 more whilst we were there making sure all was ok, reminder about checkout and then a final to leave a review. Nothing I wouldn't expect!
We as a family of 5 loved our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book again!
Not that it would prevent us from coming again but in terms of cleanliness there were quite a few cobwebs. Otherwise it was very clean.

Beautiful cottage, well kitted out for everything you could need. We loved it!

Great house to stay in. The kitchen layout with practical - as we cooked in house, the beds were comfy. Lovely décor.
As per other reviews, the booking requirement to pay security bond (which was unexpectedly high) as an extra step, via a third party service after we had already paid upfront and arrived in-country, was a debacle.
Even though the booking says "The final price shown is the amount you will pay to the property." - make sure you read the Important Information section. There is also a non refund amount and it is not clear which amount this is. A month later we and do not have our refund.
If you travel and use an esim, you will not be able to pay this bond as an overseas visitor. We had to arrange someone else to pay for us. While "Host n Stay" were sympathetic, the lack of flexibility in this process threatened us keeping our booking - even after multiple calls and emails with the online payment service. We never spoke to the owners. The anxiety this placed on us prior to us arriving, not sure that we had secured our stay was unacceptable.
However, the property was lovely and met our needs really well.

The location is ideal if you're visiting Flamingo Land at only an 8 min drive away, the cottage is very well equipped and very cosy. Has everything you need as well as some nice extras such as the wood for the log burner, throws for the sofas and lots of kitchen equipment. We really enjoyed our stay.
The booking experience wasn't the best in my opinion, I hadn't realised that I would need to pay a £250 deposit or pay for a £25 insurance waiver. You get hounded by the company really so the lead up to the break is almost spoilt. The floor boards are very loud so if you have an early riser in your group then prepare for everyone to be awake. Also there was no phone signal, which was fine for us mostly as they have good wifi however we ordered food and the company cancelled our order because they couldn't get in touch with us. None of these things are deal breakers but worth to consider.

A lovely cottage with everything we required for our short stay. An excellent base for our visit to flamingoland and in a lovely quiet residential area. I would definitely consider visiting again.

Lovely property, quiet area. sat out front to watch the stars as it was so dark. Awesome sight.
Pub down the road did lovely food albeit expensive- peppercorn steak = £26!
Only had two takeaway options.
As it is rural - we got charged £11 just for delivery!! And it was cold.

The cottage was filthy. Basically the beds had been changed and that was all. The small bins hadn’t been emptied. There was cobwebs and the kitchen floor hadn’t been swept so I left it in the state I had found it. Very disappointing.

Cutlery and crockery were a bit dirty but otherwise very happy. Would come back

Nice little cottage in a quiet location near a pub
Cottage wasn't cleaned prior to our arrival so excited toddlers we're diving into someone else's dirty bed linen to 'choose their room' before we knew there was a problem. Dog hair everywhere. Company was barely apologetic and offered only a £15 per person reimbursement which was then withdrawn by the company in poor faith. Though it was cleaned by a 'new cleaning company' there was no checking on us afterwards or any real apology. The poor service really ruined the stay.

This is a really nice cosy property which has been thoughtfully decorated. Really well equipped kitchen with everything we needed - even scales - and a jacuzzi bath which was great after a long day in the countryside! Nice quiet location - we never heard our neighbours and could hear all the birds outside. Nice large bath towels. Cosy blankets in the lounge. Nice big dining table. Easy to find. Would stay again.
pillows weren’t very comfortable- a bit too solid for us! we couldn’t figure out how to get the coffee machine to work! I received a lot of identical emails from the rental company about payment even though I paid in full upfront through booking.com. finally, I didn’t like SUPERHOG - the company used for onboarding - as they tried to get me to sign up to Ts&Cs I thought were unfair. but I called the rental co and they just said I didn’t have to sign them - so I didn’t!

6.0 / 10.0
location was good, pretty village, good pub, close to tourist areas. cottage attractive, bed comfy, modern interior
downstairs hadn’t been cleaned, dog hair in kitchen and living room. hard to get a hot shower in morning, due to water pressure in the village. We had to either get up early or wait until later. also had to actually climb into bath to turn shower on as glass door wouldn’t open, only then to find it was cold. Made it difficult with 4 of us, to get out of house at a reasonable time. The first morning we hand to wash over kitchen sink! upstairs landing was very creaky, which didn’t bother us much, but could easily wake small children or disturb others if using toilet in the night

Location and cleanliness
Much smaller than anticipated and in no way could 5 sleep there despite what they claim as only 2 rooms. Also, it would have been nice to receive at least some milk on arrival given the nearest shop was 6 miles away. There is only 1 shower that was very poor andinedfective. Not great for family use.

Needed somewhere close by to let the dog off the lead for a run.
