"We have just departed Clover Cottage after a lovely week away with family!"
The property was stunning, very big and perfect for our party. It was modern, tidy and warm. The beds were extremely comfy and the bathrooms lovely and clean. The only thing that is stopping me from turning this into a 5 star rating, is how equipped the property was. We felt it lacked some of the basics - tea towels, larger bath towels, cleaning products and dishwasher tabs (even if there had been one for a load a day, that would have made a difference, instead there was just one.) There was also quite an extensive list of cleaning operations to do on departure which, with small children around and an early departure time to adhere to, was a little stressful! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and exploring the area surrounding Bingfield has been a joy.

"A beautiful cottage but attention needed to resolve some issues
A deep clean is needed as whilst the place is superficially clean attention is required to bring it up to a good standard- we vacuumed under the sofa cushions as we dropped a crochet hook down the sofa as they were pretty disgusting with crumbs and rubbish, dust in corners and marked window frames, dirty mirrors etc
No hand towels were provided
The pillows need replacing as they are lumpy and flat
Bed linen was very creased
The oven is filthy
One dining chair was coming apart at the joints
The milk shelf in the fridge was already broken when we checked in and fell apart resulting in our milk going all over the floor."
It asks us to clean the property but there are not sufficient cleaning products to do this with, only kitchen bench cleaner
The fridge slider mechanism that keeps the fridge door to the cupboard door broke but this is a design fault of Howdens as I have the same issue with my fridge - this and the milk shelf were reported to Sykes by telephone

"Superb holiday home with all the comforts you might need, including some you might not expect like a vase!"
The rural location is part of the charm, so peaceful and quiet. A little more information about local amenities would be welcome. I do think the EV charging issue needs to be resolved some time in the future

"The cottage is beautiful and suited our party of 6 adults and 2 children perfectly."
The welcome pack was a nice touch,. The beds were comfortable, the house was very warm for a December stay and offered just what we wanted. The Christmas decorations were pretty ad much appreciated.
We were slightly disappointed by the level if cleanliness - the oven certainly hadn't been cleaned for sometime, we found cooking dishes with oil still in them, a pair if old pants was found down the side of one of the single beds and the house was generally dusty. There was also no oven gloves making cooking a full Christmas dinner a bit hazardous,
We also found the tone of instruction ( not reuests!) in the handbook a bit off putting.
We had a good time, just a shame about the few niggles.

"Clover cottage is a brilliant place in which to relax, surrounded by wonderful countryside views."
The cottage itself has been beautifully renovated. All the space flows nicely together and, for our family of 6 adults and 1 toddler, it was perfect. We would wholeheartedly recommend it.
Thanks for your kind words . We try hard to provide a home from home and a quiet peaceful place where people can recharge their batteries.

"What a beautiful and clever purpose-built barn (definitely more of a barn vibe than a cottage?"
!), and that view across the hills….Wow!
Nice welcome touches with the goodie basket, local info, board games - and even bows on the toilet rolls! - but the best thing (given we had two toddlers) was being on the one level plus finding that all the doors, drawers and loo lids were ‘soft-closing’. Added to that a non-squeaky floor throughout - it made such a difference to us as individuals being up and about at different times.
Everything really was of a high standard regarding comfort and decor and we all loved the local scenery pictures.
Night lights in corridors very thoughtful, as were having flat-screens in every room - all a complete surprise.
As I put in your visitor book “the place did everything it says on the tin”!
Thank you.

"Utterly lovely property."
We found this having been let down by a competitor's grubby place and therefore booked and arrived on the same day. Spotlessly clean, very comfortable sofas and beds and in a perfect location - it's so quiet! Very well equipped, 3 great bathrooms (2 ensuite) and a fabulous kitchen. Very close to Corbridge which is gorgeous with some great restaurants and close to the larger Hexham too. I very rarely say I will go back to a place, but this one I will.
Thankyou for your kind words. Much appreciated

Restrictions on Water heating meant we had to stagger the showers (There was 8 of us staying) I ended up having a couple of cold showers
Grass had not been cut for a while so kids could not play any ball games
Had to leave the on suite window open due to the smell of the drain
Other than that it was a lovely place to stay
To get more hot water you simply need to turn on and leave on the immersion heater .
Frustratingly our ride on grass cutter was indeed poorly serviced and we had two weeks without grass cutting . It is always cut now by a contractor every week so should not reoccur -
To solve any drainage smell simply make sure that the shower trap (beneath the floor of the shower cubicle ) is filled with water to save any back draught
The property build is brand new this year

"Lovely cottage in a peaceful location."
My elderly parents thought a shower mat in one of the showers would be a good idea, as the shower floors were a bit slippy. Welcome basket was a lovely touch. Everything was of the standard expected from a high spec cottage.

"A delightful property."
It was in a good location and very comfortable. We would definitely return. Only slight niggle was the variable water pressure in the showers otherwise everything was excellent.
Thanks for your lovely comments and glad you had a good stay.
I think lower shower pressure may occur only if water use is in several locations at once within the cottage putting pressure on the system to cope , but we will ask our excellent plumber to check the system which , along with the cottage , was brand new this year. Thankyou
