Wagtails is a well-received cottage, praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and excellent facilities, including a hot tub. It's a hit with dog owners and is conveniently located near a delightful cafe and lovely walks. The property has undergone appreciated renovations and offers a cosy stay, though the staircase design and limited bedroom space are noted. The nearby road's condition is a caution for visitors.
Reviewers consistently mention the property's cleanliness, describing it as 'beautiful and very clean,' which indicates a high level of satisfaction in this area.
The location is generally praised for its proximity to a cafe and walking areas. However, one review mentions a small road with untrimmed hedgerows that led to a car incident, slightly affecting the score.
Guests find Wagtails comfortable, especially for their dogs, and the presence of a hot tub adds to the comfort level. The mention of a 'very comfortable' stay supports a high score.
Facilities are well-regarded, with positive mentions of a hot tub and on-site cafe. However, the staircase design and desire for an additional double bedroom suggest room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately.

Fantastic place, beautiful and very clean. Really enjoyed staying here. Best uk holiday we have ever had.

Loved Wagtails! Excellent for our two dogs and very comfortable for us. Hot tub great. Cafe nearby delightful.Only disadvantage was the small road where the hedgerows were not cut back, and as a result we were pushed into the side of the road onto a rock which was sticking out by an oncoming fast car, which caused a puncture and wheel damage. No fault of the lovely cottage, just something to be aware of for future visitors.
