Guests say
The Beehive is a well-positioned cottage offering a large TV with Netflix, a spacious kitchen, and proximity to a pub with great food. It's ideal for visiting nearby towns and attractions, with most guests enjoying their stay. Some cleanliness issues were noted, but overall, it provides a good base for exploring the area.
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. While some guests found the accommodation exceptionally clean, one review highlighted significant cleanliness issues, including stained dishes and a dirty fridge. This suggests variability in the standard of cleanliness between stays.
The location is praised for being quiet and well-situated for driving to nearby towns and attractions. The proximity to a pub, cafe, and an aviation museum adds to its appeal, making it a convenient choice for visitors.
Comfort levels are generally good, with undisturbed sleep reported and a large lounge with a massive TV. However, one review mentioned a tiny bathroom sink and the inconvenience of the lounge being upstairs, which slightly lowers the comfort score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a large kitchen equipped with a washing machine and dryer. The presence of TVs in most rooms and good internet connectivity are positives. Some guests, however, had to provide their own consumables, and one reported inadequate supplies upon arrival.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

The Beehive is a fairly large property with TV's in every room apart from the bathroom. The TV in the large lounge is massive and is equipped with Netflix. The Beehive is situated in a quiet village, even though the property is near the road it is quiet and we had an undisturbed sleep. There is a large kitchen with a washing machine and dryer and a table in the middle of the kitchen usefully for families. Where it is situated you can drive to nearby towns and villages, we enjoyed many cream teas. We had a good time there and would go back.

Well, what to say, in all honesty, quite a lot. We have always done self catering, and been well looked after, but this was a disappointing experience. On arrival, had to do emergency shop, there was a real lack of "comforts", in the bathroom, there was not even a full toilet roll (less than half a roll), in the kitchen there was no dish cloth or kitchen roll. Had to wash (scrub) mugs and dishes that had been left stained and soiled possibly by previous guests. But the worst thing was to clean the smeared fridge freezer and unit doors, and vacuum dead and rotting flies from the kitchen window sill, surely a duster or damp cloth could have been used. I have photographs of said flies. All in all, not the best experience.

We have stayed in the Beehive multiple times as it was near to one of our construction sites. It's always an easy check in and a great stay. Ideal location and such a lovely little cottage. Thank you for having us!
