The Roost

Peacefull and very quiet , loved the rural outlook, lots of wildlife

Nothing

The seclusion, the views the wildlife. It was a sublime experience.

The windows weren’t the cleanest which detracted from the views.

The property is in a beautiful, peaceful location with lovely views. It was very quiet, which made the setting feel relaxing. It suits families mainly looking for a scenic and secluded place to stay.

The accommodation itself felt quite dated, particularly the furniture and overall interior. There was also a noticeable smell when we first entered, and we ended up buying our own air freshener. We also found empty bottles of laundry detergent and room air freshener left in the property. We were not expecting these items to be provided, so that was not the issue; it was more that leaving empty bottles there gave a strange and poorly prepared impression. It would have been better if they had simply been removed before our arrival. Although we understood it was self-catered and were not expecting hotel-style service, we felt there could have been more attention to detail and maintenance. We were provided with only one main bath towel each for a three-night stay, with no spare main towels that we could find. Although ironing facilities were listed, we could not find an iron, and the toaster was only partially working, with just one side functioning. Overall, the location is the strongest feature, but we personally would not recommend it for a couple’s getaway unless you are comfortable with a more dated property and are mainly choosing it for the peace, views and location.

Location was great, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful views.

Property was poorly maintained, cobwebs everywhere, plugged bath dispensing mucous out of spa jets, uncontrolled wasp issue further exacerbated by poor cobweb maintenance outdoors, no outdoor seating or lighting in the evening and no dishwasher or even dish gloves.
