I would have signs up saying keep dogs on a lead in the communal area. However, the owner's response to the issues was swift and considerate. They looked after us and saved the holiday!

"Edmunds Cottage is superb."
The Owner has ensured that everything you could possibly need is there. The cottage is tastefully decorated and very cosy. The bed was extremely comfortable. The enclosed garden was a suntrap and the Hot Tub was excellent, lovely and relaxing after a long walk. The Welcome Hamper was a lovely touch. We couldn't have wished for a nicer place to stay. The local, was very friendly, nice pub food and a good selection of beers.

The standard was of a very high standard and warm & homely.
A lot of thought had been put into the soft furnishings comfortable sofas & the bed was amazing we both slept like logs & refreshed for the day ahead. The location was ideal as it was near many places of interest.

"We had a lovely holiday the cottage was clean and well equipped, we did feel however that the bed in the large bedroom could have been a king size as wasn't overly comfortable."
The location was very good for all the places we wanted to visit. The village was really friendly as were the people in the local pub very welcoming food was excellent. The down side was the very very busy road which runs right through the village (not mentioned in the description of the cottage location). After a day out it would have been nice to sit in the lovely little garden with a glass of wine and a book but because of the noise this wasn't possible! However the hot tub did drown out the noise a little (pardon the pun). But we were there for only a week the residents have to put up with it all the time!!! The welcome hamper was a lovely little touch and greatly appreciated. Overall we enjoyed our stay just a couple of little niggles.

"My sister and I booked Edmonds cottage for a week to take our 91 year old father who has arthritis and walks with a stick and due to covid has been confined to his home for nearly 18 months."
On arrival we were disappointed to find that the property was situated on a blind bend on a very noisy road with only two parking spaces which were both occupied (first come first served basis as explained in the listing) and unfortunately the road up to the village green had "No Parking" signs all along it, the nearest parking we could find was 2-300 yards away which is not suitable for the elderly and infirm (non of which were explained in the listing).
On entering the cottage it appeared comfortable and cosy, however over the next 24 hours lots of problems became apparent, there was no hot water (we had to reset the boiler), the bottom drawer of the freezer was frozen solid which implied it hadn't been cleaned nor defrosted in months and the seal on the fridge door didn't always work. The kitchen window was covered with ivy on the outside (as were the landing and bathroom windows) which meant we couldn't open them as all sorts of insects would have flown or crawled in, all the windows were dirty on the outside and we had to wedge most of them open if we wanted to let in some fresh air. We could see daylight through a gap of 1 inch under the front door and the back door also had a gap we could see daylight under although it had a draught excluder fitted it was still draughty (not ideal in rain/bad weather or the cold). The bathroom was very modern although the sealant around the shower screen was grimy and needed replacing, the toilet cistern was continuously filling for the first two days so we had to have maintenance come out to replace a broken part. The first time we used the hot tub it became apparent that it had not been emptied and refilled prior to our arrival as we could see froth (not just bubbles) and brown scum floating on the surface.
A couple of evenings were quite cold and due to the draughts under both doors we needed the heating on for my father and discovered the temperature control didn't work, we called the owner who told us she couldn't get anyone out until the next morning, maintenance came the following morning and replaced the thermostat.
The TV reception was very intermittent due to their local transmitter having been on fire a few months previous (not the owners fault but a heads up would have prompted us to take my Laptop so my father could have watched TV in the evenings.
Rant over!!!! However most of these problems had been mentioned in the visitors comments book in the cottage as far back as 2018 and could have been rectified long ago especially since they were closed throughout Lockdown.
Thank you for your feedback, we are very saddened by your comments made, we tried to resolve all complaints made by yourself to make your stay as lovely as possible. Maintenance was sent out promptly to replace a broken toilet part and thermostat. The hot tub is emptied, cleaned and refilled for every new guest and checked throughout guests stay. Property Owner

"Edmunds Cottage is overrated, it has been renovated well and has some lovely lamps , bed linen is good quality."
Hot tub good but unsure it is emptied between visits as stated.
Carpets and rug are filthy, large brown stain at the bottom of the stairs. Furniture needs replacing especially the cream settee. Bathroom needs a deep clean and flooring replaced. Smells of dogs which is strong in the morning. Heating needs sorting as goes off early evening and comes on as you go to bed.
Looks superficially good and could be great with a bit of elbow grease and a carpet cleaner.

All 4 of us really enjoyed staying in your beautiful little cottage. The welcome pack was a really lovely touch which enabled us to have a cup of tea upon arrival after a 4 hour journey! The cottage was warm and the hot tub was running ready for us. After reading through previous reviews and feedback, you can tell that the owners do look at this and take out the feedback as I have noticed that curtains have been put by the doors to exclude draughts and board games have been left in the cupboards.
We will definitely be booking your wonderful little cottage again, a real gem. Loved every second and didn’t want to come home. Thank you for having us.

"We had a lovely stay at Edmunds Cottage."
We are a family of four and there was room for us all. We had a great weekend in the cottage. The cottage is beautiful and was a pleasure to stay in. The village is pretty, with a nice local pub for food and drink. Bedale is only 5 mins away. We visited local attractions and it was good to come back and chill in the cottage. The cottage is well equipped and cosy. We took our 8 month old cockerpoo, Maisey, who also enjoyed her stay. The garden is open so we kept Maisey on her lead. There are lots of walks close by, a park, rivers and open countryside to enjoy.

"Cottage was decorated and furnished to a high standard, excellent facilities and well thought through."
The welcome basket was a huge plus and a great touch. The cottage felt very homely which was nice. Village was nice and quiet and local pub was great. The only minor downside is the listing states that one well behaved pet was welcome. We took our 11 month old cocker spaniel and the garden wasn’t enclosed so he could access the neighbouring cottage gardens which were occupied. There were also gaps in the bushes where he could get to the road which meant we couldn’t let him out at all. In the grand scheme of things it wasn’t a huge problem but just a note for future guests. Other than that very minor thing had a great time and we came home engaged! Thank you for a lovely stay - we will be back.

"This property is not suitable in the winter time."
The cottage was extremely drafty due to the gaps under the doors. It had been noted in the visitors book that previous clients had also experienced this problem in October.
The fire needs new bulbs and the hand rail at the top of the stairs is unsuitable for people who have stability issues.
Parking is on a first come first serve basis and there is only room for 2 cars. We had to park 100 yards next to the pub. This was inconvenient due to my husband's disability.
This cottage is clean, modern and comfortable.

"Entrance door sticks - needs to be fixed."
Also, it's not weatherproof - cold air draughts around obvious gaps - again needs to be fixed. NO HEATING on when we arrived - thermostat set at 9°C only, not good given our arrival anticipated, and on a cold winter day - I've reset thermostat now to keep us constantly warm.
Other entrance door (hid by Xmas tree) is as bad as main one for ill-fitting and draughts - the place is not "maintained to high standard" at all...
Bathroom would be greatly improved by more and brighter lighting, larger and wall-mounted mirror, heated towel rail, and an extractor fan.
It's a shame that Edmunds Cottage was lacking in all of the ways I've mentioned, because such improvements would greatly enhance comfort (particularly at this time of the year), shouldn't be costly to complete, and would enable me to give 5-star review, given all of its obvious charms otherwise.

"The photos on your website are accurate, but they don't make clear you can't see it from the road."
To be fair I did get an email with more directions but I was actually driving to the cottage at the time so missed it.
Please can you sort out the fridge door. It bleeps to tell you it's open but the catch has failed and it bleeps incessantly. As there isn't a kitchen door this did affect the whole downstairs.
Also it was disappointing to be told when booking there was some on site parking, and then went an update a couple of weeks later that there wasn't.
I will say that the cottage was clean and well appointed. There were some old dvds and cigarette papers on the top shelf of the wardrobe in the master bedroom. Perhaps your cleaner couldn't see them!

"This cottage is right in the village and only a two minute walk to the good local pub."
It’s a recently renovated property, in a small complex of other rentals and was very clean. The kitchen is well equipped and modern and we had a lovely welcome hamper of some essentials.
We were sent good directions by the owner prior to arrival but the parking was a bit of a pain as had to leave the car across the surprisingly busy road, if we could get a space, or further up the road in the village. Even though we directed not to park by the cottage gates, we did note that some cottages appeared to park there?
The little garden had a picnic table to sit out of an evening or with a cup of tea in the morning, the only downside is it is overlooking the busy road through the town.
The bedrooms were well appointed with good clean bedding and large wardrobes and drawer units for clothing. We found the bed itself was a little hard and resorted to sleeping on top of the quilt from the second bed to make it more comfortable. There was a second TV in the main bedroom, a DVD player and a hairdryer.
The bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water for showers or baths.
Some of the sash windows need catches to be fitted to enable them to be kept open, (we used an old book or a shampoo bottle).
Overall we enjoyed our stay at this small little cottage, and it was great that we could bring out dog with us.
