Holiday cottage deals and offers

Spotlessly clean, every item that you could need was there. It
was a very comfortable and perfect place to relax,
especially for peace and quiet.. Also a very good location.

Beautiful cottage in a very quiet location, apart from the peacock!
Very well equipped and very clean. Lovely village pubs in Itteringham and Heydon. Would recommend for a relaxing chilled get away.

Rustic cottage in quiet rural setting, with many interesting places, excellent cafes and pubs nearby.

Very comfortable and warm, but a few niggles

Perfect location – very quiet but within walking distance of Blickling Hall, and less than half-an-hour from the seaside.

Cosy and comfy, with great views from the dining table (with many wildlife visitors – peacock, partridges, muntjac, barn owl, cattle, etc etc).

Small but perfectly formed kitchen, lovely relaxing living room with a superb wood-burner (and unlimited fuel in the outhouse).

Gorgeous quirky upstairs bedroom – and another lovely bedroom downstairs.

The owners are always very helpful – and a mine of information about the area.

This was our fourth stay. And it won't be our last.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Acorn Cottage. It was spotlessly clean and so pretty. A rural idyll! We would love to return in the Summer.

We had a problem with an animals in the roof between the tiles and the ceiling that kept us awake at night. We nearly abandoned our holiday after three nights. The wood supply was almost exhausted. Knives were blunt. There was only enough crockery for one meal for two so it was necessary to use the dishwasher at least twice a day. The lighting in the main room was too dim to read. Plenty of hot water and heating very good. No firelighters provided. Welcome basket rather mean. We informed the owners of the roof/ceiling problem.

beautiful cottage, very well equipped. Lovely countryside. Adored the cows, partridges and pheasants that were frequent visitors. The welcome basket of edibles and basics in fridge were a godsend - especially as we arrived late in the evening. Beautiful garden too.

Excellent cottage in rural situation. Very relaxing.
Slightly 'quirky' accommodation, especially for anyone over 6ft tall!
After one bang-on-head we found a system to protect from further incident!
We hope to return on another occasion.

Lovely setting. Well maintained and equipped. Good information. Very comfortable and charming cottage.

Cottage was clean and the downstairs was beautiful. We did not appreciate the half pack of butter left in the butter dish nor the small jars of muesli, tea and coffee. It would be more hygenic if they were in unopened packages. Presenting them like this felt like a money saving exercise which it clearly was. As we were there over new year it meant fewer shops were open and we were rationing butter towards then end. I do not think a whole pack of butter and one of cereal is too great an expectation when such a feature is made of the welcome hamper.

Cosy, comfortable well equipped cottage

quality of food package was only 'good'.

Stairs to upstairs bedroom was a issue at night with down stairs bathroom . I hindsight this was mentioned on the website and we should have been aware

Clean, beautiful setting and exactly as stated.

Absolute Heaven. I really needed a little getaway that was away from all the hustle and bustle and work and family needs and pets needs. I had a holiday abroad last year and also a few days in May and didn't feel refreshed by either. So forget the flying and the airports as Norfolk is so beautiful. The Cottage had everything I needed and is a very special peaceful place. I love to cook so stocked up and stayed at the cottage for my whole holiday even though there are so many fabulous things to do locally. On the day I booked out I headed for the Coast, saw the seals on a boat trip bought seafood own the way to sitting on the beach to eat my picnic. Fabulous. I am very much rested and I will return and maybe allow my husband to come along too. Quality of the whole property and everything in it decor and kitchen utensils etc are superb. Only problem was the DVD player kept breaking down which i suppose is an issue that the owners are not to know about easily but I suggest Sony DVD player is available from supermarkets for around £25 and is excellent.

great

Excellent cottage, cosy, comfortable and beautiful location.

It would help if the housekeeper /owner or rep was on hand on arrival. WiFi instructions could have been clearer. Heating clock was adrift with timings. Logs for the wood burner only just lasted, we had lovely days but very cold nights and mornings so it was used. My apologies forgot to empty the dishwasher on departure.

Really clean, really good facilities.

Beautiful accommodation, super - well equipped. Gorgeous large garden and just a few minutes walk from the Star Inn. Booking process was straightforward and efficient.

Cosy and comfortable cottage, all the little details thought about.
Lovely hosts, would love to return.Can highly recommend Applewood.

Lovely cottage and we had a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely cottage, in an area full of breathtaking lovely walks. Very well equipped and great welcome hamper.

Highly recommend

Everything from our welcome, the excellent hamper, the quality and comfort of the accomodation was excellent, So much care had been taken to make it all an ideal retreat it was a real pleasure to stay in the cottage. We were terribly sad to leave it.

Warm welcome. Spotlessly clean. Well equipped.

Clean, comfortable, beautifully appointed cottage in fabulous location. Friendly owners

Everything was Perfect !!!!!!!!!

Cottage very comfortable and well furnished. Owners lived near by and were very helpful and friendly. Welcome pack superb.

Lovely cottage. Perfect for two people. Exceptionally clean and the owners were lovely people. Anne's cakes are amazing. The area is so beautiful great for walking or just sightseeing. The village has two pubs/eateries both in the Michelin guide and one with a star and there is also a lovely pub 2 miles away. The market town of Helmsley is also 2 miles away and is well worth a visit

The stable conversion has been beautifully done and is very comfortable. The village and surrounding countryside are lovely and the owners are very friendly and helpful.

Modern furnishings, modern kitchen and bathroom. Very thoughtfully equipped. Very generous hamper.
Very helpful friendly hosts.

Excellent location, great accommodation and very friendly reception. Welcome hamper outstanding.
Very convenient for local restaurants and wedding parties.
Would recommend.

Had a most relaxing stay in a cottage where the owners had gone the extra mile.....have re-booked for next year!

The property was beautiful and just what we anticipated. Exceptionally clean and very well furnished and equipped. The owners were very welcoming and nearby if you needed anything. Also the Welcome pack was just right with quality items and some local bread and cheeses, I'm a convert to Yorkshire Blue.

Excellent quality conversion in a lovely garden. Good location in a pleasant village. Super 'hamper' on arrival and on site hosts very pleasant and helpful.

The kitchen and bedroom areas were fine but the lounge area only has skylight windows, so no views out.

Cottage was an eye opener all rooms well equipped and spacious, the welcome hamper was very welcomed .
The host,s are just Great go there you will not be disappointed.

The best RR cottage yet. Top of RR standards, with Phil & Anne great attentive owners.

Well designed and equipped with charming owners in a good location for us and with 2 super restaurants nearby.

Applewood is a beautiful property with very welcoming hosts. We loved the homemade cake and the gardens. A perfect weekend,

Another perfect property and process through Rural Retreats!! Such a peaceful location, the only thing you hear from the lane outside are horses clip-clipping past from time to time and walkers following the Mortimer Trail. This runs right past the front door so simply pack up your rucksack, put on your shoes, pull the door shut behind you and you’re right into your stride through some of the most stunning countryside you’ll find! When you return, collapse into the gorgeous lounge area, grabbing a glass of chilled Perry from the really well appointed kitchen and listen to the birds sing with an incredible view over the valley and hills beyond. This place is idyllic, in middle of nowhere but close enough to local amenities, shops and some brilliant pubs/restaurants (Cider Barn and Riverside Inn our fav’s). The barn is alongside the hosts’ beautiful home so there’s plenty of help on hand if needed but otherwise you’re in your own space with a separate entrance/parking and kept very private if that’s what you want. We had a lovely welcome, including delicious homemade cake and local Perry, of which we’ve since ordered a case after returning home, and a very relaxed departure. Thanks so much for making this a weekend to remember!!!

It was just what we both needed. Your 'barn' was excellent to recover our sanity and give us a change we so needed. Our few excursions out were also a delight.
The only challenge we had was finding the switches. I have never seen so many but it was a good game finding the appropriate one but I remain baffled by the front door light. For future visitors it would be useful to have some indication of which we need for what - but it was fun finding out. We left in a mad rush and forgot to clear out the remnants in the fridge. Sorry, but we hope they were some use to someone.
With thanks and good memories,
Regards from Sue and Tim

Lovely clean, bright open plan accommodation with all essential facilities

The perfect venue for a break away from it all. Everything we needed was provided in a beautiful countryside location. The Barn is superbly laid out and luxuriously equipped, with lovely walks from the front door. Friendly owners were available if required and we thoroughly enjoyed the home made cake on arrival! Highly recommended!

Lovely tranquil setting and lovely people, great walks. The accommodation was first class, clean and cosy.

lovely accomodation, very clean and warm with very good kitchen, bathrooms etc. amd in a lovely area for walking

The barn is exceptional!
Beautiful views, extremely modern decoration, all appliances are provided and it is very homely. There is a lovely log burner which is prepared ready for lighting on a vpsy evening. Cannit thank Jane and David enough for their hospitality. They were available for advice on what to do, where to walk and even what to eat. A lovely touch was the hamper of goods we had on arrival which included milk,eggs bread and hoemmade muffins. We cannot wait to return!

Beautiful place, lovely people.

A beautiful well equipped and comfortable barn conversion which met all our needs for a festive break. One of the best holiday 'cottages' we have had. Peaceful and quiet with lovely walks from the door. Owner friendly but unobtrusive. We hope to return.

This is a beautifully converted barn very comfortable with great views of the surrounding countryside. Well placed for Hereford and Ludlow.
We will be returning.

Beautifully appointed. Good location. Pleasing service.

Lovely place, finished to high level. Very comfortable and a nice selection of treats were provided upon arrival, making for a warm welcome. Difficult to fault the place.

Top quality perfectly located barn

Had everything you would expect and the owners were a delightful couple and very helpful

Lovely property with everything we needed. The welcome hamper was great, the property clean and well furnished with lovely toiletries and linen.

The hamper (while most welcome) didn't contain all items on the list, but the owner was very friendly and helpful, the property immaculate and beautifully presented.

Really excellent place and owners

Perfectly adequate for a short break

Excellent hosts

superb location & facilities in an outstanding location

It was such a cute and cosy cottage - perfect for anyone wants a true Cotswolds experience.
Sparkling clean with such a beautiful welcome hamper full of goodies!

very good nice place clean and tidy

Really nice cottage in a really beautiful location. The only downside was that there wasn't sufficient heating, so we needed to put the fire all the time but the first night it was freezing in the bedroom.

The following day, after calling Rural Retreats, the brought an electric heater that did the trick.

As before:
Most importantly a glass screen MUST be fitted to the over-the-bath shower. The shower is brilliant but as it is so powerful, when used it turns the bathroom into a wet room. It is also, I suggest, dangerous as the water must seep through the wooden floor.
A Grab Rail is needed on the stairs to the main bedroom.
A couple of the light switches do not appear to do anything.
On arrival there was a very pungent smell of soot/smoke which was difficult to eliminate.
A rug on the kitchen flagstones would be good.

Everything was perfect and thought about. Tin foil had run out but left a note for the house keeper but plenty of tea, coffee, sugar, toilet roll. Hamper was good for breakfast and afternoon tea.

Beautiful. Modern but quaint.

The cottage itself was just as we expected in terms of the facilities, with a superb welcome pack waiting for us. We were disappointed on the day of our arrival when frost was expected and occurred, that the heating had not been turned up more than just back ground - after a day of increasied settings, mastering the wood burner and buying a hot water bottle we were more comfortable! It should be pointed out that a couple of the bottom stairs are angled downwards which makes negotiating the bottom turn a challenge. We felt safer by holding on to the lintel above, but someone less agile might find it a bit awkward.

Beautiful and cosy cottage in lovely village and area. Would have been excellent if there was a rug/carpet on kitchen floor plus blinds to make it warmer in mid winter. Stairs were a bit tricky too

Everything very good except the bathroom! The low beam is directly over the sink. And no shower and shower curtain/door either! The WC and sink could have been the other way round making the sink easier to use.

Charming cottage, with a very well stocked hamper.
Loved the location, a very good starting point in the Cotswolds!

The cottage was adorable. The welcome basket was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. The upstairs shower was lacking some water pressure, which made washing a bit difficult. But other than that the property was stunning. Clean and charming and absolutely beautiful. So cozy, we would definitely come back.

Surprised the precipitous stairs to the second bedroom were not given special mention.
The hot water was a bit of an issue. The water got VERY hot, bordering on the dangerous and the hot tap for the bath was very slow, so slow it took over an hour to run enough water to have a bath. The hand held shower couldn't be used, the water didn't make it down the hose.
However it was a lovely cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 days. The hamper was second to none!

There was no hot water the evening I arrived as the hot water tank had been turned off. Took a couple of hours even with the boost on to get hot water. Not a great welcome after s long journey and long day at work. Otherwise the cottage was very lovely.

Delightful immaculate cottage. Alas no washing machine or dishwasher Fridge on the floor - not good for bad backs!

Had a really nice stay. Would come back again. Nice little cottage.

Extremely nice, very high standard. No complaints at all.

Cottage was typical of "The Cotswolds" - quaint but quirky, immaculate, extremely quiet, ideal for a retreat and we wanted for nothing. Welcome hamper was superb and oh the TV was fab with Netflix etc etc. Would definitely go again.

Everything was perfect location, accommodation ,cleanliness, welcome package friendly owners! Could not ask for more!

Lovely cottage situated in a quiet location (Idbury) but ideally placed to easily explore the wonderful Cotswolds.

Cosy, comfortable, charming, full of character, quintessentially Cotswold! A perfect ending to our 9 days touring the country roads and quaint villages of the Cotswolds.

It is an absolutely sweet charming cottage in a very central location, close to the main sightseeing places of the Cotswolds, but in a sleepy and quiet village. The cottage is furnished tastefully and with love to lovely details. We loved to spend our time in the winter garden: for breakfast or just enjoying a glass of wine. And additional plus points for location is its proximity (just 10 minutes walk) to my absolutely favorite restaurant in the Cotswolds: The Feathered Nest - it's a must to visit being in this area! Thank you for a great place for our stay in the Cotswolds.

We couldn’t find fault with anything. The usual high standard of decor, cleanliness, the very much appreciated welcome basket, the pretty garden. The only thing I would suggest is a small electric hot air heater for the conservatory which was chilly in the mornings for breakfast and you don’t necessarily want to heat the whole house.

Lovely comfortable cottage. Small kitchen however, more suited to just having breakfast and snacks rather than cooking a full meal.

Beautiful, comfortable cottage in idyllic location

A wonderful cottage and very well appointed. And a welcoming host who we thoroughly enjoyed meeting.
Great and quiet location to visit the Cotswolds. Highly recommended.

A fabulous cottage for 2. Ideal for a romantic getaway

Small, but beautifully refurbished and cosy cottage. Warm & well equipped with exceptional welcome hamper - one of the best we’ve had. Quiet too, but well positioned for Burford and Stow.

A beautiful cottage for a relaxing stay in a stunning area. We love the sun room, a perfect place for breakfast whilst watching the birds in the garden!

Cottage was really excellent
Everything we needed was there.
Hamper was perfect.
Wood burner and quality of wood was perfect
Please thank the owners we will definately return
Regards Tim Warren

Loved it. Spot on. Tip top. Do it all over again.

a lovely cottage in a super location down a lane leading onto a walk across the fields. Really good pubs only 2 to 3 miles away.

Lovely cottage, excellent location for driving to tourist attractions and also hiking without needing the car

Excellent and can highly recommend..

Hillview is very homely and clean. The bed was extremely comfortable and had good bed linen. It's a handy location for many Cotswolds' attractions . If anything could be improved it's the sofa in the lounge but we didn't stay in much so it wasn't a big deal. The welcome back was excellent and much appreciated.

Really good location. The property was clean and well presented with a very comfortable bed. Nice to receive a small hamper to help welcome you. You can walk from the house to Slaughter quite easily across beautiful fields and paths all well marked out. Stow in the Wold is just up the hill but would probably recommend taking the car. Burton on the water is just a few miles away as well.

Lovely well-appointed cottage.

Quaint cosy cottage in a peaceful spot - fairly small in proportion but very well equipped. Lost one star as the stairs are narrow and very steep so probably not suitable for those with mobility problems or small children but we had no problems. There are lovely country walks nearby over to the Slaughters and the cottage is well situated for all the Cotswold hotspots. The local Golden Ball pub in Lower Swell was very disappointing, with underwhelming food and staff not very welcoming either so would definitely avoid that but there are excellent pubs and eateries in neighbouring villages. Stow is a mile away and Moreton only 10 minutes by car.

Overall a lovely weekend getaway in a cosy cottage.

Ooooops I meant to do 4 stars!!
The cottage was spotlessly clean and just what we wanted for our weekend away together. For a 5 star property I would have expected the bathroom to be more special/ luxurious. It was very everyday/ordinary. We loved the log fire and the well equipped kitchen.

Had a lovely start in Hillview. The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds and there is a pub in walking distance. The cottage is very cosy and the welcome basket was much appreciated. Thank you.

It was a joy to arrive at the cottage - 5pm, very dark, and there were welcoming lights, snug warmth, a fabulous welcome hamper, and a beautifully prepared cottage - bliss!
We had a lovely relaxing stay, whilst walking in Cotswold country, including straight from the door to the Slaughters! Thank you again, Rural Retreats for a treat of a break!

Lovely cottage and everything clean.
Only thing missing was fresh coffee for the cafetière as only instant provided.

Lovely cottage - well modernised and clean. Village situation is good and within walking distance to the local pub. A good base for exploring this beautiful area. Bees in the tree outside the backdoor need attention!!!!

Beautiful Cottage, just a problem with heating in the bathroom/ towel rail. Couldn't be fixed until the day we left. Very clean ,good position for exploring the Cotswolds!

Hillview was the perfect festive getaway - cosy, romantic and surrounded by beautiful walks, we absolutely loved it.

lovely cottage and location, could not fault what was provided

Hillview cottage was just perfect and we had a wonderful stay. Sarah at Rural retreats was wonderful and so very helpful. We wished we could have stayed for longer. The Welcome hamper was amazing and such a lovely gesture. We would definitely stay again.

Attractive property, spotlessly clean and comfortable, and the welcome hamper was a special extra, much appreciated. Could have done with a little more heat on a cold night (we didn't fiddle with the night store heaters) but the log burner gave us sufficient.

Hillview was a clean and pleasant cottage. The village Pub was friendly. We found some of the fruit provided in the hamper not as fresh as we would have liked.
On street parking was not ideal, partly due to road works, but there was not much room anyway.

Exactly as described......

Beautiful cottage,had to use/call Rural Retreats twice with issues,both times they responded exceptionally

What a fabulous cottage.

We stayed here for a mini moon. It was ideally located to get around the attractions in the Cotswolds. It is furnished tastefully and has a lovely wood burner for the cold nights (not that we had any).

The bed was comfy and the kitchen was well equipped.

Very well presented cottage in quaint Cotswolds village.
The cottage was very well equipped and so clean. We had an excellent stay and will definitely return.
We loved the welcome hamper. Would highly recommend

Lovely clean cottage. Pretty village with lovely walks straight from the door.

Very well equipped cottage with good internet! welcome hamper was suberb quality. Very friendly and helpful owner. Lovely village and most enjoyable holiday. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Cottage with everything you need for a relaxing short break away. Loved the welcome hamper provided also.

It is a lovely cottage and has everything needed for a good break.

The cottage was possibly in need of a little tlc. Upstairs excellent. Kitchen not designed very well. Lack of work tops, storage. Astroturf(new to us) rather smelly (obviously with dogs) and not inviting to sit in garden. Neighbour had 7! cars so a bit car parkish. But Naunton super village. Pub excellent. Well placed for a holiday.

Lovely cottage in a great location. We had a very pleasant stay cycling around the quiet country lanes. Rural retreats very helpful at time of booking. This was our second stay at hope cottage and we are very likely to return

Great location for walking and visiting other places.
Ideal cottage for the two of us and a dog.
Had everything you needed.
Fantastic hamper.
Friendly neighbour
Plenty of information and support from Sarah.

No cheese in food hamper. When opening the fridge the milk fell out as the front to the storage shelf was broken. Toilet flush very difficult to pull down and flush properly. Light above wash-hand basin did not work. Tap in wash-hand basin drowned you every time you pulled it up. Not possible to put it on gently. No air freshener in toilet. Not impressed with kitchen layout and cleanliness of kitchen. Would have expected a new pair of rubber gloves and washing cloths.

The cottage was perfect. Lovely and quiet but just two minutes walk to a great pub with amazing food. Great walking routes on your doorstep and being a dog friendly property was incredible. Beautiful and cozy decor and the bathroom underfloor heating was such a luxury. Just loved the log burner and the WiFi worked great. Can't recommend highly enough for anyone looking for some cozy tranquillity.

We had a wonderful break. The cottage was perfect with lovely walks nearby and a great pub for refuelling.

Fantastic cottage, really warm, cozy, quiet and well equipped. Hamper was well thought out and very much appreciated. Great location for seeing the Cotswolds and set in a beautiful village.
Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Fabulous cottage in an idyllic setting in the Cotswolds. Ours was a Christmas break at the cottage, and the welcome hamper waiting for us when we arrived was amazing. The cottage was cosy and had everything you could possibly need for a self catering break. The village pub was great, lovely meals and very welcoming, even to our little dog. Thoroughly enjoyed our Christmas stay and will definitely return again.

A beautiful, comfortable cottage, a great base to explore the Cotswolds from.

Lovely cottage - exactly what we expected! Everything we needed was there - truly a home from home.

Nice enough cottage in a picturesque village. Is in need of an update. Lots of damaged paintwork going up the stairs and no skirting boards in the bedroom. Didn't realise before booking that there were rooms in the loft space. I personally wouldn't be happy to stay in the loft space as it's accessed via a very narrow and steep stairs/ladder. Good for a short break away for two but would miss home comforts if staying for longer

Beautiful cottage, excellent facilities especially the bathroom and quality bed linen. Excellent hamper to welcome us.

An amazing cottage in a lovely location. We will return. Ideal for couple with/without a dog. Good pub nearby and good walks.

The cottage is in the village of Naunton, which is an ideal base for some amazing walks. Hope Cottage is pretty and well equipped.

The hamper was a really nice touch on arrival. Hope Cottage itself was well prepared.

Naunton is a lovely village with a good pub. However, there is no grocery shop.

Minute garden and no dishwasher but many positives too. Lovely refurbishment and presentation in a good central location, especially for walking the dog. Off-road parking and the enclosed garden are appreciated.

Great cottage - shame about the damp

Lovely cottage and nice hamper not many places do such a good hamper

Excellent location, accommodation, area, weather, fishing, and people who host the accommodation were great.

Very friendly and helpful owners. Excellent accommodation in every respect.

Lovely well equipped cottage, attentive hosts and good location on the edge of the owners pear and apple orchards. Enjoyed several evening walks around the orchards and the trip in the tractor was a nice touch. Hereford a short drive away with lots of Nation Trust properties we'd not see before in the area. Mappa Mundi in the Cathedral is a must see and particularly enjoyed Hampton Court Castle and grounds.

Would recommend thouroghly.

ace, really good and exactly what we expected up to RR standards ..thoroughly recommend

Lovely situation. Very comfortable & clean. Only minor issue was bathroom down the corridor from bedroom. We assume layout dictated by anatomy of the barn rather than an architect!.

Beautiful barn. The owners were so welcoming and helpful.

Well appointed cottage. Good dog walks from village and at Ampleforth Abbey. Good food at village pubs. Some cupboard space would be helpful.

Still no appliance instructions, I reported this last time we stayed. TV is a mystery!
Parking not good, very difficult to reverse out especially when someone parks right at the entrance of the parking space for the cottage which seems to be all the time.

Very good comfortable accommodation which was just enough for 2 people and our little dog.
Generally well equipped, but small saucepan (or small set of saucepans) for at least boiling eggs would have been useful.
The welcome hamper was excellent with a very comprehensive selection of goods to get us through the initial days.
TV coverage via use of the internet TV arrangement was not very good.

The location was good a nice village. The cottage although was only for two people I found the kitchen area was on the small side the lounge was ok as was the bathroom but my main concern was the bedroom. Lack of hanging space we only had coat hooks no wardrobe which I was expecting. Also the hoover was in the room as were other cleaning items so this was not up to rural retreats standards. We have stayed in other rural retreats befor and hopefully we will stay again.

Lovely cottage and garden. Great place to relax. Thoroughly recommend.

A comfortable and well equipped little cottage in a picturesque setting.

Larger bath towels would be nice.

The house was almost perfect for our needs; first time away without the children in 20yrs. It was in a picture perfect setting, the owners, in the attached house, were unobtrusive but available if needed and the home was furnished tastefully and appropriately. The kitchen was very well equipped and multiple place settings meant that we didn't have to wash every night. My only negative comment would be that I was disappointed that there was no washer/dryer (although I do understand that logistically this was not possible). I did overlook this when booking, but frankly, I would still have booked. I also understand that the home is probably primarily targeted at the domestic market but as visitors home on leave from abroad the ability to wash clothes prior to our onward travels would have been helpful. But still five stars!! The owners are doing everything right.

excellent cottage, all facilities fine some of the access points a bit steep (steps etc.)
Lovely garden but the nettles and weeds on the banks of the stream spoiled the view of the water somewhat.
However it was the fulfilment of a life long ambition to live by running water albeit for three days!!!

Beautifully presented cottage and well equipped kitchen. There is a small courtyard with table and chairs accessed up a few steps next to the house, Perfect place to sit for morning coffee.

A generous welcome basket is provided for your initial provisions.

I would recommend Mill Race Cottage, a lovely base from which to explore the surrounding area.

We were most disappointed by the location and in particular the proximity of the road outside the property which meant the garden seating area was fully exposed to passing traffic. The property is marketed by Rural Retreats, we felt it was neither Rural or a retreat and felt disappointed and misled.

The cottage was very nice. Situated within walking distance of a couple of pups in one direction, and a small town a five minute drive from the cottage the other. Very pretty location

Very comfortable and superbly equipped cottage.

A lovely location and beautifully arranged and equipped accomondation. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. Well situated to gain easy access to the surrounding area and wider afield

Beautiful cottage, astonishingly well equipped, and friendly owners at hand to guide this Luddite through the mysteries of modern appliances.
Hardly went out all week, despite lots of opportunities; just lounging on the patio, listening to the stream was infinitely refreshing.

We liked the cottage a lot.
We have stayed in the Peak District with you at two different places.
Both of them had the extras to make it special. Things you may require without having to buy - cooking oil etc. The welcome pack was a bit basis. Other properties we have stayed with you have been more imaginative and generous.

The cottage was small but well equipped, perfect for two

Lovely position for exploring the Peak District

Lovely place to stay , we loved the hamper

The cottage was lovely and very comfortable. It was also very well situated for exploring the area.

Very cosy ,had everything we needed for an enjoyable break away.

Very comfortable, clean, quiet and good location

good, but the given instructions for the heating control were not easy to follow. We had to ask the owner to help.

Good standard as expected and as described

We have stayed in a lot of holiday cottages over the years and Mill Race was faultless and perhaps the best ever.
The cottage was somewhere you were always happy to go back to after a day out.
Its only fault, it can't control the weather !

Excellent facilities in beautiful rural location.

We feel that future visitors should be aware that the bathroom does not have a door, just a curtain to pull across, so in effect it is part of the bedroom.

Also it is likely that the owner will ask you to park in the village hall car park, thus parking nearby and not actually at the property.

It was a beautiful cottage in a lovely location. Very well refurbished. I only have a few (slightly) negative comments. It's obvious that this is a new acquisition for Rural Retreats. The usual green folder was missing which meant we didn't have full instructions for things like how to deal with the rubbish and tips for local things to do, doctors etc. We would normally expect a couple of dishwasher tabs to see us through the first day. The cheese we were left was not in the fridge and had dried out. The cottage wasn't quite as clean as we are used to. There were plenty of cobwebs (windowsills and sofa), tablecloths weren't clean (dining and bedside), washing up liquid bottle was leaking everywhere; but these are all really small things. One of the outside chairs has seen better days and is worryingly wonky when you've had knee surgery. And the parking wasn't clear. There was a large 4x4 parked close to the cottage and we weren't sure where we were supposed to go. But overall it was fine and we had a lovely stay.

We have stayed many times at this lovely cottage. However this time there was a major issue. We have given 5 stars as the situation was delt with so efficiency by RR and the extremely kind owners. A potentially difficult situation was resolved. I have no doubt this well maintained cottage will be a happy discovery for any one who stays in the future. We will be back.

Everything we required as usual (except the weather!)

Brilliant as per last New Year. Superb hamper, excellent accommodation, peaceful location.

the only reason why not 5 stars was the fridge had not been put on max so the milk was of , also we thought it would have been nice to of sorced some of the goods in the basket but we did not know where you purchased them from

Very compact and clean good hamper on arrival.

We have returned 6 times to this quiet small but well equipped bolt hole. Always a welcome respite from the stress of life.

Very clean well kept cottage in a lovely quiet location with a lovely sunny patio, however to make it a 5 star experience suggest more seating in living area, even a footstool as one sofa for two people not ideal. Also very little crockery and knives,forks,spoons so, had to use dishwasher more than we would have liked.

The Old Bothy is a compact and convenient hideaway with no stairs to climb in a quiet location and close to a variety of eating venues.
Facilities are good, useful hamper, wi-fi does work and we had no problems.

Always lovely to stay here. We have been back many times. Slight worry was strange vibration noise from roof when wind blowing. We had never encountered this before despite staying here many times. Have told rural retreats customer service so hope nothing wrong as we love this cottage so much.

Superb little bolt hole, beautifully renovated and equipped, perfect for our need. Great location, handy for lots of areas of the Cotswolds. 100% we would love to go there again.

Small but perfectly formed this tiny bolt hole is the property you wish you could own yourself. Carefully thought out so your every need is catered for in a beautiful tranquil setting.

Soo cute, small but perfectly formed cottage in a really stunning village. Tucked away in a quite road, and very well equipped. i needed to extend my stay twice whilst I was there and the team at Rural retreats were as usual, most helpful.

Excellent, small but space well utilised. No detail too small. Perhaps wifi only in kitchen a prob but that's rural living for you.

Lovely cottage, ideally situated

We were disappointed that no warning was provided about the very poor wi-fi provision, but otherwise happy.

Comfortable cottage with a good standard of furniture and fittings but could do with more cups/mugs/bowls etc, some of which were cracked/chipped, and a footstool would be useful in living area. Access onto the driveway from the road was rather difficult and would be better with a dropped kerb, and an extra row of paving or gravel would save walking over grassed area.

The map on the website does not indicate the correct position for the Old Bothy which should be on the south of Queen Street after The Old Manor House (not down a gated alley as shown). As there are no street numbers we had to search by walking along the street.

The Wi-Fi was not available in the sitting room only in the kitchen. WiFi extenders are not expensive http://www.trustedreviews.com/best-wifi-extenders_round-up

This is the smallest property we have rented. Perhaps a note indicating just how small it is on the booking page would be helpful.

Location is attractive and excellently situated for the trips we wanted to do.

Superb hamper and delightful hideaway

Fantastic

The property was great, in a fabulous location. The hamper was excellent.

Sadly, Owl House has a very tired interior - the bathroom is very musty due to no windows and a small extraction fan, the toilet is loose (both these instances reported previously in the visitors book), the sofa is in need of repair (webbing under seating deteriorated), dishwasher door façade is unstable, curtains in bedroom stained, kickboards in kitchen loose and finally, the bedding (especially the pillows) were heavily contaminated with a stale cigarette smell. Luckily the owner was nearby and replaced the bedding immediately after it was reported on the second day.

We book with Rural Retreats due to the excellent quality of the properties and this is the first instance we have had to report negatively regarding a property.

Lovely cottage in a very quiet location. Plenty of logs for the fire and a generous welcome hamper which was a lovely touch.

We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend Owl House if you’re looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

Main issue- Road access very very poor even dangerous and not properly described in the brochure. Stressful even out of season.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Owl House. Very compact little property but with everything you need. Incredibly peaceful both in the cottage and the private terrace area yet only a 20 minute walk away from Wadebridge and ideally positioned to reach all the beaches we wanted to in super quick time. We were very lucky to have amazing weather and the housekeeper was very helpful in supplying us with extra sheets to replace the unwanted duvet – thank you Sarah. Being able to bring the dog along as well was a bonus for us as lots of other places we had looked at do exclude them. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Owl house is very quaint and ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. Ideal for 2 persons. Although older persons mat find the stairs/bedroom/bathroom hard to deal with.

The Owl House is a very charming place to stay. An ideal location for exploring the local area. It is a peaceful, relaxing place to come back to at the end of the day.

Otima posizione tranquilla ma non lontana dal centro. Arredato con gusto, piacevole anche lo spazio esterno con tavolino.

Lage,Interieur,Freundlichkeit

Well located, well equipped, well decorated and - as the website says - silent at night apart from the owls. Would definitely go back.

House was ideal for the two of us. Very nicely furnished and equiped. It meeted our needs very well.

A lovely small cottage far out in the peace and quiet of the countryside. Clean, comfortable and warm. Well equipped and nicely decorated. Lots to do in the surrounding area and in the evening we sat with the radio on, warmed by the log burner. A wonderful break from London

Lovely cottage. Very quiet. Welcome hamper was very much enjoyed. We had a slight problem with the heating and Sarah came out within a hour or so and later that evening one of the owners of Owl House phoned to make sure everything was ok (which it was).

A good property and well maintained,the only comment I would make is that the photos gave the impression that the property was near to the sea, which is incorrect.

We have stayed at Owl House many, many times and keep returning. It is a magical place which offers a real opportunity to switch off and enjoy peace and quiet in seclusion - whilst being in a location that makes all the local attractions and coastline easy to reach. We are not lovers of returning to the same place but have made an exception over the years with Owl House because we have yet to find anything better for just 2 adults and a dog with good access to the North Cornish coast. Yes, it is small but as the description says it is a converted Shippen! It has everything you need and is more than comfortable for a great holiday. Contrary to previous reviews there is really nothing wrong with either access or parking. Yes, it is down a tiny access lane but it is Cornwall and the real beauty of Owl House is its location in what is a tiny hamlet. We will be there without fail in 2018.

The owners have done as good a job as can be expected of a small proper like Owl House. The property is good but at a price of a luxury property. I have stayed at far better properties at a lower price than Owl House.

Access road and parking inadequate. Needs a washing machine and drying facilities. Owl house best described as "tired". Has obviously been furnished cheaply and is not good value for money.

We had a lovely stay - clean, cosy and comfortable.

Really loved the cottage would definately book it again, the welcome basket is a really nice touch.

First Class , clean and even a Xmas tree to greet us. Many thanks had a great time thanks to the House Keeper eye for detail !!

Owl Cottage was lovely. Very clean & had everything we needed. Good location for visiting all the lovely beaches. Welcome hamper was really great & contact with Sarah the housekeeper was really friendly & helpful. We will book again soon

Beautiful cottage, very well equipped and tastefully decorated and furnished. Perfectly positioned to enjoy some lovely walks and visit local places of interest.

Accommodation was first class and the location was good in terms of things to do.
Enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.

Pear Tree Cottage is an extremely well-appointed and comfortable holiday home in a wonderfully rural location. It has a brand-new fully equipped kitchen and a very modern en-suite with a fabulous shower. All this in a refurbished barn sympathetically decorated keeping the buildings original character. A real ‘get away from it all’ spot, but only 15 minutes’ walk from the pub and a short drive from the lovely town of Ludlow.
The dog came too, and she had a ball being able to run free in the surrounding fields. The welcome pack was just the job, plenty for a cuppa on arrival and breakfast – and more.
Situated right in the border-country of Herefordshire/Shropshire/Worcestershire the scope for exploring is limitless, and to come ‘home’ to this wonderful little cottage was just brilliant. With the lovely weather we were able to use the private patio – just great. Thank you, Jane & Gareth.

Beautiful cottage, immaculately presented. The owners made us feel at home immediately and could not have been more welcoming. Lots to do in the area and lovely countryside, everything we needed for a perfect getaway.

An excellent rural retreat in an ideal cottage for two. Will certainly be returning.

Lovely cosy cottage with lots of little extras to make your stay extra special. Wonderful welcome park and handy walks to follow from the doorstep. Owners made us feel very welcome. Great log burner with lots of logs etc. Will be going again.

The cottage is perfect. The owners were helpful, the location is quiet and beautiful.

Superb cottage, we'll be back !

Beautiful, quiet and secluded spot. Lovely, well appointed cottage, and lots to do nearby.

Beautiful cottage, idyllic location, owners wonderful.
The welcome basket such a lovely added touch
Would absolutely return

5 star all the way. Fantastic location fantastic cottage fantastic hospitality. Will return.

it was very clean, beautiful hamper this is our second visit and would go back again when visiting the area .

we didn't even look at another property this time just booked it

If I was to make any criticism it would only be nitpicking. very nice accommodation, our German Shepherd relaxed very quickly. Lots and Lots of walks from the door. and a Pub half a mile walk.

The cottage was fantastic, comfortable and had everything we needed and more, the welcome basket was exceptional. We will be returning again.

The whole place is just perfect including the service from the hosts!

We love Pendleton Cottage - we've stayed before and had an equally good time this trip. It's such a cosy little place, and is decorated beautifully with great dog walks straight from the door. We'll be back (again!)

Lovely cottage, clean and well-appointed. Highly recommended.

Superb location and such a beautiful cottage. The owners have paid lots of attention to the details

First class accommodation in a wonderful setting.

Beautiful cottage - tastefully and thoughtfully kitted out - everything included in - beautiful location and hamper was excellent

Beautiful cottage, well equipped. The owners had provided information on local amenities and a good number of walks from the cottage.

Idyllic! The most comfortable bed ever well equipped and super clean cottage. Can't wait to go back 😁

Excellent Property
Owners gave the best welcome pack I have had at a Rural Retreats destination.

Beautifully restored cottage. Excellent attention to detail. Lovely hamper of goodies upon arrival. Extremely comfortable and very homely. Ideally located central to many attractions. Quiet area for a relaxing holiday. Nothing was too much trouble. Fourth time here and would highly recommend.

Owners charming and very helpful. Furnishings and equipment excellent BUT RURAL RETREATS DESCRIPTION MOST MISLEADING. NEARBY PUBS ALL DEFUNCT.THIS IS A VERY SMALL CONVERTED OUTBUILDING NOT A CHARMING COTTAGE. VIEW IS IMMEDIATELY OVER DRIVE OF OWNERS' PROPERTY. NEED TO KEEP SHUTTERS CLOSED FOR PRIVACY. ALMOST NO HEADROOM IN BEDROOM. PERSISTENT SMELL OF HEATING OIL.
FIRST AND LAST TIME WITH YOUR COMPANY UNLESS YOU ARE MORE 'REVEALING' WITH INFORMATION ABOUT PROPERTY PRIOR TO BOOKING

Great for a couple.
Peaceful.
Close to nature.
Great for walking, running etc.
Some great pubs in the area.
Clean and well equiped.

Accommodation was tastefully furnished,well planned and well prepared
Property is in the grounds of the main house ,just 20 metres away
Owners are available if you need them,but otherwise respect your privacy and are not noticeable
Parking is in a small private field just opposite
Excellent shower in the ensuite,with views over the farmland
Only 1 bedroom and cottage is quite small, but fully equipped and nicely designed
Ideal if you want a few peaceful days in the Kent countryside

The cottage is the perfect place to go to relax , unwind and recharge your internal batteries . It is beautiful and peaceful with everything you need or could want . It is situated within easy reach of some wonderful places Hever and Leeds Castles , Eltham Palace , Ham House , Smallhythe and Sissinghurst and others too numerous to mention , then you can come back to the peace of 'home' and chill . Shakers was pure bliss .

Beautifully appointed, spotless, tranquil cottage, with footpaths from the back door out to local countryside and a decent pub nearby serving great food

Ambience +++. Location ideal for us. Warm welcome.

Although this cottage is small, it is well equipped and has been nicely decorated inside. We appreciated the Nespresso coffee machine, and the plentiful welcoming basket. The only point that we would like to make is that when the weather got colder, it was cooler in house, as both front door and back door have significant gaps in the frames allowing the cold air to come through.

While everything was perfect! No remarks at all!

Well furnished and equipped downstairs; beautifully decorated. Very clean. Good Welcome Pack.

Slight disappointment with the upstairs bedroom: no curtain or blind on the large window; we found the bed too firm.

Very nice, luxurious cottage with great facilities- would be great to have a blind upstairs though..

Only because the bedroom roof space was limited and there were no curtains which meant sleeping with a blindfold

Very impressed with the cottage and the welcome hamper was the best we have ever had. The homemade Victoria Sponge excellent. We liked the home grown products. It was all perfect and we had a great time despite the changeable weather.

Lovely cottage and the usual generous hamper.
Only snag was the provision of eye masks instead of curtains. We didn't find them comfortable and as a result woke very early.

The cottage was excellent with top notch bedding and towels etc. All modern comforts and over flowing hamper. Home make cake was a welcome treat.

Beautifully appointed cottage. Well situated for visiting National Trust properties. Welcome hamper very good though not quite as comprehensive as in other RR cottages we have been to.

Highly recommended cottage.

It was a really lovely cottage. The home made cake and hamper were a delicious touch and we had a lovely weekend.

A lovely cottage and decorated beautifully particularly for Christmas. So many lovely little treats which really make such a difference, small box of chocs, delicious carrot cake, magazines including Christmas TV magazine, Prosecco, and so much more. The cottage is immaculate and so cosy and warm. It's in an ideal spot so that you can long walks but feel cut off from the world which was just what we needed.

Beautiful property with a quality decoration & furnishings. Small and cosy but still modern and airy. Clean throughout with everything in good working order. Well equipped, particularly the kitchen. Fantastic welcome hamper including local food & handy local newspaper.

This Alice in Wonderland cottage is very well equipped to a high spec and in a stunning location with lovely walks from the doorstep. The hamper was a special treat. So many beautifully presented home-made goodies. It was a refreshing change and reminded us of the good old days of RR hampers before they became the rather cursory offerings found in many RR properties.

Whilst it would clearly be difficult to fit it in and was entirely obvious from the property details that there wasn't one, a washer/dryer (or access to one) would be so useful, especially because of the outdoorsy nature of the activities available. The lack of such facilities means we (and we suspect others), would be reluctant to book the property for more than 2 or 3 days, which is a shame as we would love to stay for longer.

Beautifully appointed cottage in a lovely situation with thoughtful hosts

Lovely cosy cottage, with tasteful interior and every possible extra that you could want.

Made to feel very welcome on arrival and the accommodation is to a very high standard. Great location too.

Decor was tasteful comfort able and well equipped. Owner was extremely helpful!

Lovely little cottage tucked out of the way but close enough to major routes to get about and also great walks straight out of the door. Very clean and well equipped in terms of kitchen and entertainment options (tv/DVDs/books/games) and excellent welcome hamper. Only negatives are that we were with our 18 month old and it was very tight to fit his travel cot in the bedroom - probably more appropriate to be advertised as for a couple only! Also the shower was a bit disappointing (weak, lukewarm). Overall would strongly recommend as a Peak District getaway though.

The cottage was superb, very well equipped & great location.

Fantastic cottage with very high spec.Welcome hamper must be one of the best.Owners Roz and Rob very welcoming.Could not fault anything.

Brilliant owners located near by and the welcome hamper was amazing! A well-equipped cottage that was perfect two! Going on walks from the cottage was easy, due to the prepared routes that were there for you to take with you. I highly recommend the French restaurant in Wirksworth too!!

Fabulous accommodation with great country views and walks, Roz and Rob left a lovely welcome hamper which included treats for our puppy, a great information pack for local walks, they were very welcoming and we felt Sparrows Roost was home from home.

A lovely place for a couple to stay. The welcome hamper is thoughtfully prepared and the owners are friendly approachable and extremely helpful
Our little sheltie enjoyed the walks and the underfloor heating

Brilliant. Perfect little house, close enough to shops and restaurants. Great hosts-so helpful!

A stylish and modern conversion with all amenities you could possibly need to enjoy your rural getaway....

Definatley 5* without a doubt! I would come back tomorrow if i could. Loved it!

Our holiday cottage was just perfect for our needs - extremely well appointed, warm and comfortable. Plus an excellent hamper of supplies.

Even though the weather was bad this little cottage was wonderful.
Every detail had been carefully considered for our requirements during our stay and a wonderful hamper was waiting for us.

Everything was perfect. A very quiet location in lovely countryside.

Beautiful cottage with lots of extras, the hosts were helpful but non-intrusive and left a lovely hamper for us to enjoy. We had a relaxing break in stunning surroundings and couldn't fault anything, even the weather behaved and we had glorious sunshine.

Fabulous cottage , excellent facilities , beautifully clean - perfect !

Ros and Rob were amazing hosts. i would highly recommend visiting Sparrows Roost. wonderful place, so peaceful.

The cottage was absolutely spotless. The welcome hamper was much appreciated. There was also an information pack for guidance and things to do in the area. Brilliant!

The owners were very friendly and helpful and left a wonderful welcome pack. The cottage was in a lovely location and had been refurbished to an excellent standard. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and only the easy chairs let it down slightly, as they were not of the same standard as the other fixtures and furnishings and were a little lacking in comfort.

A very nice small cottage, ideal for that quiet and rural break away. The cottage comes with everything you need and you couldn't ask for more. The owners are more than helpful and friendly....

Very happy with cottage, just the flies due to hot weather and close proximity of animals. Owners very obliging, lovely home baked bread.

Absolutely amazing cottage, beautifully furnished, very spacious and it has great views. Perfect for family get togethers or lazy weekends.

Comfortable,cosy cottage. Our host had provided everything we could need including a well thought out hamper to get us started. Slept really well in gorgeous large bed. Wonderful spot in the centre of Painswick but tucked away so very quiet. Stones throw from pub and restaurants. An ideal centre for exploring this beautiful region.

Spring Cottage was a delight. So stylish and comfortable and felt like a real home rather than just a holiday let as there seemed to be so many personal touches. Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Very thoughtful touches for dog owners with things like the dog tag, bowl, mattress and biscuits left. My own dog made a beeline for the mattress! In a really quiet and peaceful location with views from the bedroom to die for. I was lucky to be there in splendid weather so made the most of the garden and terrace and my 5 days came to an end too quickly. I very much hope to return.

It’s a lovely cottage with a sun trap little garden. It’s beautifully kept and decorated. My only issues were around parking. There is no parking at the property and it means crossing a road which can be quite busy.
From a dog owners viewpoint it would be very useful to have the use of a dog gate at the foot of the stairs as it was difficult to give them access to the garden whilst watching they couldn’t get up the stairs

Lovely cottage, very comfortable with everything you need provided set in s beautiful area with loads of excellent walking direct from the cottage.

This was a lovely cottage in a great location. It was a home away from home and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch.

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage, with a very helpful owner. Only drawback is need to carry cases etc across the road and to park the car in local car park.

这次英国行里最完美的住宿体验，温暖的小屋。如果以后还来乡村，还会选择住这里。

A really lovely cottage. Would return without hesitation

A very well appointed cottage in a good location.

Well appointed little cottage perfect for a couple. Looks beautiful inside and out with a comfy bed, high quality furnishings and lovely views. One thing we hadn't expected is that there is no washing machine. We had just assumed there would be one in a fully fitted kitchen and neglected to check beforehand. As a result we arrived (this was the end part of a longer holiday) with clothes that needed washing and was dismayed to find that there was no machine. If we had realised in advance, we would have washed our clothes in the previous holiday home. We like to travel very light and wash things as we go, so this was a bit inconvenient for us. One other small niggle is that we were provided with only three capsules for the Nespresso machine. For 2 people staying 5 nights this is not enough. Again, if we had been aware of this in advance, we would have brought our own capsules from home. We didn't realise that you can buy Nespresso compatible capsules at Waitrose until we left (in Hong Kong where we live, Nespresso capsules can only be purchased direct from Nespresso), so this meant that after using up the 3 capsules that had been provided, we couldn't use the machine. Perhaps a note could be left for international guests on how to purchase additional capsules in the UK. The lack of a parking space outside the cottage is a minor hassle. Detailed directions are giving on where to park, however, so you can work around this. For most people without mobility issues, this shouldn't be a huge problem. In all, we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful base to explore the Cotswolds, but parking is an issue.

Beautifully presented cottage, everything we could want had been thought of.

Stylish and beautiful decorated everything you could ever need supplied.

Spring Cottage was superb, excellently equipped, immaculately and stylishly appointed in every way. It far exceeded our expectations and was a 5 star experience in all respects

Spring cottage was immaculate. There was nothing that could have been better. A query involving the heating was dealt with very quickly.

The cottage was clean, well furnished and comfortable. The bathrooms were particularly good. The location is excellent and cottage equipment was spot on. Our dealings with the owner were good, she could not have been more helpful. Perhaps just me but I did struggle to open the key box, but a minor issue.

Would have been good if the garden was enclosed for the dog but other than that the property is exceptional. Looks like it has been recently refurbished and felt very luxurious. A very nice welcome hamper, very well equipped property and nice towels and bedding. It is in a gorgeous village with two good pubs and lots of great walks from the front door. We would love to return.

In excellent condition, and in an excellent location.

Lovely, clean and well presented. Very helpful housekeeper who sent us very nice welcome and goodbye texts.

A lovely studio in a lovely spot with wonderful views over the countryside. Has everything you would need, very comfortable bed and has been designed and fitted out to a high standard. Hosts are very friendly and welcoming.

Wonderful, just wonderful

Excellent quality accommodation well equipped to a high specification in a private and quiet position. Ideal for chilling and relaxing with a panoramic view to unwind and enjoy the tranquility of its rural position.

Beautiful, luxurious, very comfortable accommodation with lots of thoughtful little extras.
Lovely rural location but only a short drive to the Jurassic coast.
The owners live on site and were lovely and very helpful but the apartment itself is really private and peaceful.
Perfect for a romantic or relaxing break.

Everything was superb : the studio (very cosy and comfortable), the landscape (glorious Devon), the owners (Ruth and Geoff, so friendly), the welcome hamper and homemade brownies... We recommand this Retreat to everyone !

Absolutely lovely. Such attention to detail. It is a studio apartment but they really have made the best use of space. The welcome hamper was much appreciated. We spent a lot of time on the balcony and terrace just relaxing with wonderful views and watching so many different species of birds. Wonderful hosts who were so friendly and helpful. We would thoroughly recommend this Artist's Studio.

Accommodation was exceptional absolutely faultless would definitely recommend this property.
Very rural,very relaxing perfect!

A lovely studio with great views .We really enjoyed our stay.

Delightful location, private with beautiful views.
Extremely high standard accommodation, fantastic attention to detail. Best holiday accommodation we've ever had.

The location was lovely, quiet and very secluded. The thought and care that has been given to the property could be seen throughout. The studio was immaculate and the little touches made us feel most welcome. Perfect!

Most enjoyable a real delight

A beautiful studio in a stunning location. The studio is perfectly decorated and is very luxurious. Only thing is there is limited hot water, so expect quick showers and a bath 1/4 full. If there was more hot water then it would have been 5 stars.

A lovely peaceful retreat, so well equipped, cosy and relaxing. Brilliant!!

Excellent cleanliness and facilities. The rating should be 5 Star +++. I highly recommend it.

Beautiful studio, very well thought out, with great attention to detail. Perfect for a long weekend or a week. Amazing location and very private. The owners were on hand if needed but not intrusive. We would definitely stay there again.

Excellent and to a very high standard. We personally do not like having the kitchen within the same room as the bedroom but this is a matter of taste and was made clear in the brochure.
We would have liked some local comestibles in the food hamper!

Fabulous location for views, walks in the woods and getting away from it all. The Studio is very well equipped and thought through, with lovely touches and artistic design. A real pleasure to stay there.

Fabulously decorated place with everything you could need and Ruth and Geoff were really helpful and friendly. So peaceful.

An amazing place - bright, clean, well laid out, great facilities and a lovely couple running it. However, don't expect to walk to the local pub as it's way off the beaten track.

A beautiful place at "the end of the world"!
A wonderful cottage, well equiped, a great welcome hamper and very kind and helpful owners. A lovely cottage and garden and a lot of privacy!
