“Lovely cottage that was clean and well-equipped.”
There are just enough mirrors, pieces of art and decorative objects to make it feel welcoming but not cluttered.
The kitchen had things like salt, pepper, sunflower oil, tin foil and dishwasher tablets (which not all cottages do).
Both lounges had comfortable sofas and big televisions. The wifi was reliable, fast and accessible all over the house (which sometimes isn't the case with other cottages).
Parking is on the street and over our 7-night stay, we were able to either park directly outside the house or no more than 4 or 5 cars down from the house.
The beds were comfortable. My only niggle about the cottage was that the curtains in the bedrooms were very thin and unlined, which meant they let a lot of light through. If you're a heavy sleeper, then this won't be a problem for you. But I'm quite a light sleeper and tend to get woken by early sunlight, so would definitely have preferred thicker and/or lined curtains.
If you have a dog, there is a playing field just a few minutes' walk from the house. Turn right out of the cottage and cross the road towards a church. The playing field was often filled with dogs and their friendly owners. We also walked the length of the playing field to cross a bridge to walk further along a permissive way that was lovely and quiet.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly consider a return visit.
Thank you for your very positive feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Magnolia. Apologies for the curtains, we literally put new blinds in all the bedrooms the day after you stayed. We had not been able to get to the cottage prior to that due to Covid restrictions unfortunately. We really hope that it wasn’t too much of a problem and hopefully the next time you stay you will have a better quality of sleep. Thank you again and we hope you come back soon.
