    "We had a wonderful holiday at Edmunds Cottage."

    The cottage was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. The welcome pack on arrival was greatly appreciated too. We would highly recommend a stay here. We look forward to visiting again.

    "Quaint cottage in a lovely village, well equipped and we really enjoyed the hot tub."

    However, it’s definitely not 5 star as anticipated due to the specification of the kitchen and bathroom and quality of the soft furnishings, we enjoyed our stay in this beautiful part of the country.

    Thank you for providing feedback and I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for the feedback around the kitchen and bathroom, we have booked in works to the bathroom. Thanks again :) Property Owner

    "We were very disappointed when we arrived as the kitchen and it's contents were quite grubby and needed a good clean."

    Pots, pans, cutlery not been washed, some needed replacing. So before we had tea we had to clean what we were using. Not what you want when on holiday. Cobwebs and stains in all rooms, needed some TLC to bring upto scratch. Expected better for what we paid. There was lots

    Thank you for providing feedback Deborah, it is very important to us and helps us to make improvements. Upon receipt of your email during your stay our team checked through every item in the kitchen and replaced a few items. I am sorry that there were cobwebs in the property and I have spoken to the team about this. Thank you again :) Property Owner

    Lovely cottage very homely home from home comforts beds very comfortable All you need to enjoy your holiday lovely touch by the owners to leave a welcome pack on arrival to get you started The only thing I would say is that we could not find any instructions booklet for using the cooker, as the touch screen was very worn and could not read the dials on the hob All in all a very beautiful cottage in a beautiful village with a local pub just a few doors down serving great food too

    Thanks for your feedback Pauline, really pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. We have updated the instructions for the hob. Thanks again! :) Property Owner

    "Thank you. We had a great stay."

    The cottage had everything we needed. However we couldn't work the hob and couldn't find any instructions of how to operate it. This would have been useful.

    Thanks for providing feedback Carol, I am sorry that you could not work the hob properly, we have refreshed our instruction booklet to ensure any missing instructions are replaced. Thanks again for helping us improve :) Property Owner

    "Lovely cottage and we especially enjoyed the hot tub."

    The cottage itself was cosy, was always warm and the beds were so comfortable. Our toddler was poorly the first night and the owners were great when I reached out to them and I managed to get new linen for the bed. The kitchen was lovely, had all the things you needed and we were left a lovely little welcome hamper of food and milk which was so helpful. Only thing I would suggest would be adding a larger frying or a sauté pan as the one there is quite small and not big enough to cook for a family of 4 in. Bedrooms were great, bathroom was perfect for our needs and the water pressure was fantastic. There was even shower gel provided and the towels were lovely and thick. I would recommend the cottage for a stay and the local town of Bedale has everything you’d need to stock up on.

    "Cottage was nice,cosy,clean goodies left were much appreciated and everything like home from home, hot tub great and relaxing after a nice walk,the only thing negative was the parking we had to park round a green but then had to walk backwards and forwards with our luggage for someone with walking difficulties would find hard so can't be outside or near property."

    "Cottage was beautiful and just as described."

    So welcoming, we felt relaxed as soon as we walked through the door. Welcome pack a lovely touch. Only issue we had was the bathroom light. Took us a while to figure out. But we managed. Short drive for a lovely stroll around Bedale on a lovely sunny day. Would totally recommend. Can see us visiting again in the future.

    "A wonderful property in a beautiful village."

    The cottage was clean, warm, comfortable, cosy, fantastic! A really well presented spacious property. The hot tub was lovely and warm and secluded from neighbouring properties, a wonderful place to relax under the stars. We will definitely return for another visit.

    "The cottage was wonderful and we had such a lovely time."

    Other than a few maintenance jobs everything was perfect. The cottage was clean and in such a lovely area. The hot tub was a bonus. The only thing we would say was we struggled to keep the lid on the hot tub due to the wind and the clips being broken and the jets turned themselves on on several occasions but nothing that impacted on our weekend. Thank you.

    We had an extremely comfortable stay, 3 adults and a dog. The hot tub in the garden was amazing. Equipped with everything you require. Lovely welcome hamper on arrival. I would highly recommend and we will definitely stay here again.

    "Parking was a problem as we couldn't get very near the cottage, so unpacking and packing the car was difficult."

    The shower screen leaked and water came through the kitchen ceiling on the first night. We reported it and it was dealt with the next day. Some items were missing in the kitchen - dishcloth, pan scrub, draining spoon, scales, pastry brush. The sofa facing the TV was uncomfortable. Warm and cosy though and we enjoyed the hot tub.
