Mr Barber
April 2021

“This was our first trip since the pandemic began and planned as short break to meet family and enjoy a change of scene.”

The location of the property was chosen to make this easy, plus give us options for days out. It was also a very quiet place. It was spacious for two and well equipped. Our only issue - although it was too cold to sit out in our small 'yard' - was that it was not inviting to do so. It would be nice to see the fencing painted a lighter colour with perhaps a climbing plant on a trellis.

“Good value for money.”

Lovely nice big rooms. Handy for visiting rfamily.

Mr Boughton February 2020

“Lovely comfortable property and ideal for exploring the area.”

There was a lack of basic cleaning equipment so that had to be acquired and poor recycling capabilities. We could only recycle glass. Not a good advert for being environmentally friendly!? Otherwise we have no major issues and would return in better weather.

Mrs Lawrence August 2019

“Was unhappy to find cobwebs on base of some radiators.”

on two occasions there were what I think were small cockroaches in kitchen in the morning. it also might help if top sheets were put on beds as duvets can get too warm for comfort,on the whole it was a nice cottage.

Mr Catt July 2019

“Whilst the actual cottage was a good size, we had a lot of issues, to start with we tried to get wi-if which the listing says it has and when we couldn't login into it I asked the owner and I was informed that Willow is the worst cottage for logging in to internet but if I stand by the back door in the kitchen I should be able to pick it up!”

! I needed wi-if in the bedroom during the night for our home alarm notifications had it gone off whilst we were away. The did eventually allow us to pick up her own personal wi-if on my mobile phone however we were told the next day it was now working and when I asked about allowing me to have it for my iPad as we needed to look up places to visit in the area. It was working but it was again only if I sat in the kitchen at the corner of the table by the door that I could pick up a signal! The day before we were due to leave we saw someone fitting what looked like boosters to the cottages, which was a little late for us. With regards to the comfort of the cottage no where was comfortable This was lacking in the bedroom and sitting room as the bed well mattress was so soft (worn out) that when I sat on the bed I could feel the base, it was shear luck that I brought a throw in the car so I put that folded on the sheet on top of the mattress however it still didn't completely make it comfortable and I didn't sleep very well for the 6nights stay. It didn't help as the two sofas were so low as the cushions/bases were very worn out and you sank down so low, So these too could do with replacing. I put one seat cushion on top of another and a pillow on this but still it slumped down very low! The shower was a big issue as it too is quite old and needs updating or a real power clean. Jets useless apart from the water pressure not working and water just trickled out at the bottom of the shower head the actual fitting for the shower head had been put on the wrong side of the rail so it was almost against the wall, my husband changed it round but it still was not any good and as I have long hair I couldn't wash my hair all week. I couldn't shower either so ended up having to strip wash. We should have asked the owners about these issues but you felt they were not involved with running the place as it was done via another company Acorn Cottages which we did not know this at the time of booking. Also to suggest an idea that might make the sitting room a bit more appealing re the boiler In the corner on the wall, maybe this would be much more appealing if it was built into a cupboard instead of being on show!!

“The private patio area was not exactly what we expected.”

There was obviously no view but also it wasn't very pleasing to the eye from the lounge patio doors, ie a 6foot high brown fence 4 feet from the doors. It would be nice if it were painted in say Cuprinol colours Willow or Seagrass to brighten it up and perhaps a pot plant. Other wise it was a very enjoyable and comfortable stay.

- Mrs Price, September 2018
Mr Smith June 2018

“Older people might like to be aware just how remote the cottage is.”

e.g. nowhere within walking distance, no/poor mobile signal, no nearby shops. The cottage and surrounds are beautiful, peaceful and very relaxing.

- Mr Smith, June 2018
Mrs Moss May 2018

“Good weather.”

Nice place. Peacefully third time at that place. Lovely time

- Mrs Moss, May 2018
Mr Bacon October 2017

“A fantastic property and site all the units look as good as Willow.”

I have had a cottage as good as this one from any other company.

- Mr Bacon, October 2017
Mrs Clarke April 2017

“Very relaxing place and area.”

Will definitely visit this area again!

- Mrs Clarke, April 2017
Mrs Croker October 2016

“Lovely spacious cottage In the country, which does however mean narrow country roads and not very good wifi and mobile phone reception .”

- Mrs Croker, October 2016
Mr Slade October 2016

“Overall very good.”

Accomodation spacious and warm.All booking and key collection very straightforward.Cottage generally well equipped and clean just a mucky oven.A great holiday and very peaceful position.

- Mr Slade, October 2016
Mrs Kilner September 2016

“This was an excellent spacious cottage.”

We can't understand how it can have the same Sykes rating (3 ticks) as the disappointing flat we booked from you in Rye in May - surely it's worthy of 4 ticks?

- Mrs Kilner, September 2016
Mr Morrell April 2016

“A pleasant and relaxing airy cottage, with plenty of space.”

- Mr Morrell, April 2016
Mrs Sayer February 2016

“The cottage was an absolute sanctuary.”

It was homely, welcoming and furnished beautifully. We took our little boy and an excellent cot and high chair was provided which made packing far less stressful. It was a gorgeous location and felt incredibly safe.

- Mrs Sayer, February 2016
