  • "To be fair, 1st impressions were, oh god, what have we come to!"

    The shared parking lot let it down, needs a jolly good tidy up! The cottage itself, was lovely. Needs a new bed in the second bedroom, as it makes a tremendous noise everytime you moved. Also, the bath needs a Bathmat, quite dangerous as it's very slippery when having a shower. Could also do with a mirror above bathroom sink for shaving. Apart from that, we had a lovely stay.

  • "Farnlea is in a great, peaceful location."

    It feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere, yet you’re only a few minutes from the main road, with easy access to the A1 and the coast. The property felt very homely and had lots of charm and character, with lovely features such as the fireplace and ceilings. We especially enjoyed the sunroom and the different options for sitting outside, and it was lovely watching all the swallows flying around. The main bedroom bed was very comfortable, although the mattress in the kids’ room could have been better quality as you could feel the springs. The living room was comfortable, Wi-Fi was good and the kitchen was very well equipped. The welcome package was also a lovely touch. Overall, cleanliness was good, although some areas of the floors and the rugs looked like they could have done with a more thorough clean. The bath was a little awkward to get into and would definitely benefit from an anti-slip mat. We really enjoyed our stay. Farnlea is a peaceful, comfortable and characterful property and a great base for exploring the area.

  • "The cottage is lovely - clean and very comfortable, and much more characterful than the images suggest."

    The location is very quiet and peaceful and it really didn't take long to drive to places to eat and shop. Plenty to do in the area and we were very lucky with the weather - missing most of the showers forecast. The bathroom was fully functional but could do with a bit of TLC - re-grouting etc. Our main concern was that there was nowhere to hang wet coats, which fortunately we didn't need.

  • "The property was as described, excellently presented and equipped, it location was very peaceful but yet centrally placed for visits to so many locations."

    The cottage was chosen because of the conservatory with views for the not so good weather but as it turned out the weather was good and the back terrace was therefore extensively used.

  • "This was our second stay here!"

    The location is perfect and peaceful. We love the size and it’s well equipped. The welcome package is lovely. The kids love the giant map in their bedroom and want one! The only things we’d improve would be some hand soap provided in the bathroom. And we also had trouble getting the plug out of the bath.

  • "We had a lovely time in Farnelea."

    The cottage itself was very well furnished and had everything we needed. The living room particularly was lovely and comfortable. The only things we would suggest to the owners would be to fix the door latches (most of them don’t latch closed, and the children’s door in particular is very stiff and squeaky which woke them both up when going in/out) and also all of the beds need new mattresses as they are very hard/springy and roll you into each other. We did very much enjoy our stay, but the above being resolved would have made it perfect and a 5/5!

    This cottage was so incredibly impressive So cosy but immaculate Everything had been thought of that you may need especially in the kitchen If we were to be picky the only suggestion we would give is on the fence maybe put something i between the panel to stop small dogs being able to get into the adjoining field especially as sheep are in there and come very close Our Terrier were fine but to be completely enclosed would be a good idea

    Thank you so much for the kind words and for the suggestions . It is always good to hear how the house works for other people. Property Owner
