Guests say
The Pump House is consistently praised for its peacefulness, beautiful setting, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the underfloor heating, scenic location, and the secure garden for pets. The unique charm of the property and its tasteful furnishings are highlighted, along with the added enjoyment of local wildlife and walks. Some minor suggestions for improvement include a downstairs washroom and a larger TV, but these do not detract from the overall positive experiences.
Guests have described the house as spotless, indicating a very high level of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, peacefulness, and natural surroundings, with access to local walks and an arboretum, contributing to a serene holiday experience.
The property is generally regarded as comfortable and warm, with a huge bed and a roll top bath. However, there is a mention of an uncomfortable sofa and a bed that was too soft for one guest's preference.
Facilities are well-regarded with underfloor heating and a well-equipped kitchen. However, the absence of a freezer and a request for a larger TV suggest there is room for improvement.
While guests have mentioned the provision of tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits upon arrival, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across the reviews, it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.
