  The cottage and decor was beautiful.

  The Christmas tree was a nice touch, thank you. The kitchen was well equipped including T-Towels. The bathrooms had hand soap, towels and toilet paper. This side of things was brilliant. The cottage was a bit warm so we turned down the radiator theromostats as to not waste energy. Our dog loved his stay and the local walks. It was a lovely peaceful Christmas. The only thing we were not happy about was that the dishwasher had not been emptied properly and there was a pool of stagnent water in the bottom which was rather potent to the nostrils and turned the stomach. Then we discovered that we had to wash EVERY plate, cup, and utensil especially the serving spoons, plastic utensils and whisk and container... there were still food on these items!! We could not find a sweeping brush, dustpan and brush or a mop to clean floors while we were there. Only a hoover was supplied. I would have liked to mop the floor where our dog was in and out of the building. A washing machine would have been useful too. I didn't realise there was not one. I should have read the description more carefully. We did not use the jacuzzi as we were not sure of the hygene issues. Also, an update on the matresses would not go a miss. I didn't know that 1970's style sprung mattresses still existed, I tossed and turned with springs in my ribs most of the night. Other than the hygene and matresses, this cottage could have been sooo much better. A lovely building in an oustanding area.

  The perfect winter break for my birthday and the first time to the midlands but won’t be the last.

  Lovely cozy little cottage with the advantage of a hot tub, which was perfect for the chilly winter evenings in an enclosed garden, which was a little over looked but didn’t bother us. Comfy lounge with electric fire which was not needed as the cottage was always lovely and warm. Fully equipped kitchen, although could have done with more than 4 teaspoons, especially when using the dishwasher. Dishwasher tablets, cloth at the sink, teatowel, washing up liquid and kitchen roll all provided along with tea, coffee and sugar and some biscuits which was a nice touch. Liquid hand soap was also at all sinks. Upstairs was very spacious with towels for all guests on each bed. Hairdryer in main bedroom, plenty of hangers and storage. Mattresses on the beds were memory foam and a little firm for our taste, in fact very hard and we do sleep on a firm mattress. But did sleep quite well considering. Very clean and tidy property. So many lovely places to eat out within a 20 minute drive. Would definitely recommend The Little Beehive and if it was an option would score a 4 1/2 out of 5

  What a lovely lodge to stay.

  Welcomed by Bev lovely and friendly. Very clean warm and comfortable. Amazing views from the balcony. Even at the end of Oct we were able to sit out and enjoy the sunrise. Nice little surprises on arrival to welcome us. Everything we needed was there plus more. We were a very mixed aged family of 7 from age 10 to 88. Loved the games provided that were in the unit. We enjoyed feeding the goats with our carved pumpkins and feeding the donkeys with left over carrots and apples. The dogs loved the secure garden at the side they could run happily without worrying about them been able to get out. Bev welcomed our Granddaughter trick or treating at Halloween. Everyone was so friendly. Ideal place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet with stunning views across the valley. Thank you to Bev and everyone else we met we had an amazing week. We would definitely recommend Dragonfly lodge to family and friends, as well as returning ourselves. Thank you.

  A lovely little cottage in rural location.

  Clean and basic facilities. Not really appropriate for dogs though as advertised as next to busy through road for village road. It would be much better if a fenced garden was an option. Unfortunately electricity was not working in kitchen when we arrived and we had planned on self catering meal for first night. We contacted host and needed to move between next doors cottage but that was being occupied the following night so needed to move between the two. This was an inconvenience for our first night on holiday. Electrician called round early in the morning. I asked if he would give us ten minutes as my children and husband were not yet ready. He asked to come in regardless which I felt uncomfortable with. Curtains would be useful or a weighted blind as we required windows to be open and light blind blew around all night and disturbed our sleep with noise and light into the room.
