Guests say
Holly Cottage is a well-decorated, spacious property with comfortable beds and a lovely patio area. It's situated in a convenient location with a pub across the road and a farm shop nearby. Guests have enjoyed the powerful shower and the well-equipped kitchen, though some have noted traffic noise and issues with cleanliness and maintenance.
Several reviews mention a lack of cleanliness, including cobwebs, spiders, and mould. The property appears to require a deeper cleaning routine, as reflected in the feedback.
The cottage is in a great location with a pub across the road and a farm shop up the road. However, some guests have noted traffic noise due to its proximity to a busy road, which affects the overall experience.
Guests have found the beds to be super comfy and the cottage bright and comfortable, with plenty of sitting areas. However, the presence of emergency exit lights in bedrooms has affected some guests' sleep.
The property offers a powerful shower, good wifi, and a well-equipped kitchen. However, there are several maintenance issues reported, such as problems with the boiler, toilet seats, and door handles, which suggest the need for better upkeep.
While the reviews indicate that the kitchen is well-equipped and there are positive aspects to the property, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under the category of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score is set to null.

We loved Holly Cottage! Very comfortable and well decorated. Beautiful walk through woods and past a stream just at the back of the house. Only one niggle.... there was no equipment to make a fresh coffee with. We would happily book is again. Thanks 😊

Lovely cottage with all you could need in the kitchen. Comfortable beds, good wifi, heating and hot water worked with no problems.Earplugs worked well for sound of traffic at night.But every bedroom had some sort of emergency exit light that made it impossible for everyone to sleep the first night. And we had some very deep sleepers amongnusbwhi usuallysleep with no trouble anywhere. I'm charitably assuming this is a safety feature that has to be in a rental property. Drastic action had to be taken on the second night to block the lights.Pub across the road was fantastic, highly recommend their food and service.

Overall very good. Spacious, clean and comfortale, had everything you would expect. Patio seating area was lovely. Shower was fantastic: very powerful. Biggest problem was lack of blinds / frosted glass: particularly in the main bathroom. First place we've ever visited where the key code had to be requested an hour before arrival, but we did get a quick respose by text. Gap to get onto the drive could be widened a little, wifi was fine when it worked but did stop working - particularly towards the end. Stair carpet gripper catches your feet.
