Guests say
The Mowle is a charming cottage with a vast, beautiful garden and direct access to the canal, ideal for paddle boarding and kayaking. It offers a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, and a variety of outdoor activities, including a hot tub. The property is dog-friendly and situated in a peaceful location with local amenities nearby.
Guests have expressed concerns about cleanliness, mentioning overgrown gardens and the presence of dead flies. However, the issues seem isolated rather than systemic.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, proximity to local pubs, butchers, boat hires, and the seaside, making it an excellent spot for a holiday retreat.
The property is generally found to be comfortable, with good sleeping arrangements and a cool interior during hot weather. Some guests found the sofas uncomfortable due to low backs.
The facilities, including a hot tub, pool table, and paddleboards, are appreciated, but there are concerns about maintenance and the condition of outdoor furniture and garden paths.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

7adults over 3 generations and 3 dogs. We stayed for a week and celebrated an 80th birthday. Beautiful house and amazing gardens. The welcome tray was lovely. Clean comfortable beds. The house blends old and mod cons perfectly. Daughter loved the bath and is on her list of ‘must haves’ in her house. We felt very much at home here. The house was fully equipped for us. We had quality family time playing pool and table tennis. Hot tub great day and night. The garden has so many different areas to explore and is naturally beautiful. We all thoroughly enjoyed every moment
