Bank View next to the Fleece Countryside Inn

The view, the property, the hot tub and the whole experience.

The location is beautiful with an amazing view from the hot tub over looking the valley and fields, especially the field directly behind the cottage has fresh lambs in there. The cottage is lovely, clean and cozy. All rooms except the kitchen are beautiful, especially the bathroom!

The kitchen wasn't quite finished.. it didn't make any difference to our stay as we went out for a meal and didn't really use the kitchen other than making a drink etc. It would of been better to have some notice of this as we was only told at check in.

Everything, the setting, the facilities, the location, overall the relax factor 100% switch off mode commenced once we arrived!

We loved the house interior, hot tub and the views

We had a really enjoyable stay overall, especially inside the property - the interior is lovely and the hot tub was a great highlight. That said, we did feel there were a few areas that could be improved quite easily. We didn’t receive the check-in instructions until after 4pm, which made arrival a bit more delayed than expected. Outside, there were several things that took away from the experience: a smashed igloo, damp and mouldy furniture left piled up inside, empty appliance boxes, and stacked chairs. There was also an old hot tub filled with brown, dirty water, and some crushed velvet furniture left outside that was again wet and damp. The garden itself could do with some maintenance, there were weeds, and a number of slabs piled up that felt unstable and potentially unsafe. We didn’t bring our daughter this time, but if we had, these would have been a real concern. Additionally, a pile of old PVC windows and junk next door created quite an eyesore. It’s a shame, as these feel like relatively simple issues to fix and did detract from what is otherwise a real gem of a place. While we tried to overlook them, it was difficult to ignore everything mentioned. That being said, we wouldn’t want to put others off entirely. If you’re looking for a night away with a hot tub and great views, it does the job. The property has plenty of positives and lots of potential with a bit more care and attention.
