Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean and comfortable, with a high standard of cleanliness mentioned frequently. However, a few guests noted issues with cleanliness, such as dust and dirty utensils, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for being peaceful, with easy access to local pubs, shops, and scenic walks. Its proximity to Richmond and other attractions in North Yorkshire makes it an excellent base for exploring the area.
Guests have reported the cottage as cosy and comfortable, with a particularly comfortable bed. Some guests, however, mentioned that the sofa was uncomfortable, which suggests room for improvement in seating comfort.
The facilities, especially the hot tub, are frequently highlighted as highlights of the stay. Nonetheless, there are comments about the need for upgrades to certain items like China and saucepans, and the sofa's condition, indicating some aspects of maintenance could be enhanced.
The hosts are often mentioned for their thoughtfulness, including welcome gifts such as wine and fudge. While these gestures are greatly appreciated by guests, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind bonus and not a guaranteed amenity.
