We booked in to Repton Cottage for a long-term stay while our boat is being repainted. This was our first 4 weeks, and I must say, it has been excellent. The hosts Elaine and Greg have been so helpful, helping us settle in with our 2 dogs. As I have had to continue working from home, good internet was important. It has been excellent and caused no issues. It's just 15 minutes away from the marina where we live and my husband works. A perfect choice.

We spent a wonderful week at Repton cottage. It was comfortable. Nice beds and amazing shower. We had a tiny problem with the TV which was sorted in 10 minutes ! Such a fantastic location for walking from the door. Bluebell woods and the amazing anchor church. We would recommend 100%

Let me start by saying anyone in a low car beware as you have to drive up an hgv bumpy road to get to the cottage this has big dips and pieces of rock sticking out. The cottage is a lovely looking cottage from the outside inside is very outdated old sagy sofas a tv that’s basic I was hoping to get Netflix but was not to be. a log fire that doesn’t work properly and they don’t supply enough logs I had to ask several times and on Christmas Day we ran out and no one answered the message I sent. The owners have dogs directly opposite the cottage which constantly bark and the bedroom is also opposite the owners property so was woken early hours by the dogs barking. The shower turns cold part wayThrough use. The stairs in the cottage are a death trap uneven and they sink in places. The local Boot pub expensive 80 pound for 2 adult meals and a child’s meal plus a service charge of 8 pound added to your bill. Photos of the cottage on cottages. Com are of tables and a grassy area this is of the barn which is behind the cottage we stayed in and there is no access to that area. Also no car charging point important if your car is fully electric.
