  • "This cottage is beautifully furnished with plenty of shared space for the number of bedrooms/occupants and a well thought through inventory of utensils."

    The courtyard, with its sunny aspect and multiple seating areas was a favourite. The quiet location but near a fantastic pub with super food choices was also a bonus. The only thing we’d have wanted more of is better and more instructions about operating the facilities. Showers and heating seemed to be a particular struggle. As it’s April - and pretty chilly - the evenings needed a heating boost in the house. Although we are entirely supportive of prudent use of fuel, it was not straightforward to warm the place up. Similarly, there was insufficient hot water, some showers seemed not to receive hot water or there was difficulty controlling the temperatures on the top floor bathroom, and in the green bathroom, controls were temperamental. Navigating this was not easy during a very short stay (ie - a bit frustrating but not a huge issue). It would also have been handy to have left some logs for the wood burner. Overall a wonderful place and we’d consider returning. Thank you

  • "We had a wonderful start to the New Year staying at Lynton Cottage."

    The cottage is beautifully decorated with all the utilities needed to make our stay comfortable. There's a great local pub and being able to have our dog come with us was a big plus. Also very close to Farmhouse if you want to stay somewhere that feels like an extension but with a cheaper per night price tag.

  • "Lovely Cottage."

    Extremely well furnished and comfortable beds.,Intermittent hot water in top floor shower - a plumbing malfunction?? More firewood would have been nice to cover the 3 day stay

  • "Had a great holiday with 8 adults and 2 dogs."

    Plenty of space and everything you need. Comfy beds and big living areas perfect. Garden for dogs. Exactly what we were after. My only negatives are the central heating and the dishwasher, doesn’t seem like we’re the first guests to have issues either. Boost button on the thermostat didn’t always work, the radiators only warm and the house got cold quickly with it being winter. As above, we still loved our time in the cottage and it was a perfect location, maybe just something to keep in mind.

  • "We could have done with some bedside lamps on the top floor, when we used the dishwasher it leaked onto the kitchen floor, we had to use some tea towels to contain the leak There was a lack of socket outlets in the communal areas for charging etc."

    All in all it was very pleasant cottage and we all enjoyed our stay, thanks
