Beautiful apartment, clean and bright, and with a wonderful welcoming hamper of coffee, wine, bread, eggs, cheese etc...

13 MARCH 2018

The apartment is superbly located in the centre of town at the foot of Mermaid Street. Consequently very central for eating out. I can recommend The Ship Inn literally only yards from the apartment. The apartment was spotlessly clean, yet quiet for such a central location, and kitted out with everything one would need if one wanted to have home cooking.
It was Rye Scallop Week and every restaurant in town had locally caught scallops on the menu, delicious.
Car parking is a bit of a problem, £5/24hours so not outrageous, and one could see ones car from the lounge window, which was reassuring.

4 DECEMBER 2017

Lovely apartment, great location for access to Rye town, as always rural retreats are a pleasure to deal with, most informative agents and also most consistent rentals.

27 NOVEMBER 2017

A beautiful apartment in a lovely location. We would definitely visit again.

21 NOVEMBER 2017

The property was very spacious, well equipped and comfortable.

10 JULY 2017

Lovely apartment. Well stocked and comfortable. Bed is superb. You feel like you are in the middle of everything.

27 JUNE 2017

Problem with traffic noise with main road close to the property.

8 JUNE 2017

Wonderful location, beautiful apartment .

8 JUNE 2017

Great location, lovely apartment, very clean.
The only small downside would be that the road outside is quite noisy at night, so if you have the window open in warmer weather you can hear the traffic.
I would have liked a couple of serving dishes in the apartment, just to complete the otherwise well stocked cupboards.

6 MARCH 2017

Beautifully fitted out and very clean. Great welcome hamper. Brilliant!

6 FEBRUARY 2017

Excellent property, absolutely fabulous, will return to Harbour View

25 NOVEMBER 2016

Get the internal hall lights sorted.walking up 20 steps to the front door in the dark is not funny.

30 OCTOBER 2016

Clean, comfortable, well equipped and spacious apartment in an excellent location

7 OCTOBER 2016

Really great apartment. Induction hob difficult to manage - why not have a hob that more people are likely to be familiar with? but loads of good restaurants in Rye so not a major problem.

28 SEPTEMBER 2016

Apart from the parking problems everything was perfect.

5 SEPTEMBER 2016

A beautiful property which was in immaculate condition.

25 SEPTEMBER 2017

The cottage was very comfortable and well provisioned. However, the photograph shown in the brochure proved misleading regarding the view from the property, which was very disappointing – a gas tank in front of a rural shed, with a background of felled trees. Refrigerator space was limited and freezer space restricted to a small 'borrowed' shelf in an adjacent building. The setting was very remote, with limited opportunities for walking directly from the property and miles from anywhere.

24 SEPTEMBER 2017

This was our second stay at Am Bathach as we enjoyed our break there earlier in the year. We already plan to stay there again next year.
The standard of accommodation, location and hospitality of the owners is exceptional.

24 SEPTEMBER 2017

We're so glad that you enjoyed Am Bathach again, and to hear that you'd like to return is wonderful. It is in such a unique position and the owners really want their guests to enjoy their time there. Thank you for your continued commitment.

21 JULY 2017

Lovely property, quiet location and dog friendly.Friendly owners to welcome you with home baking and lots of luxury food items.I would have preferred a fenced in garden for the dog. I didn't like the plastic bowls to eat out of! I would have liked a measuring jug and a better grater in the kitchen! Hope this helpful.

14 JULY 2017

Very clean and comfortable, friendly owners without being intrusive.

14 JULY 2017

More good feedback for Am Bathach. Thank you very much.

5 JULY 2017

Perfect location if you like to get away from it all but easily accessible by car to beautiful tourist spots nearby. Property is beautifully decorated and furnished. Everything you need for a break is thought of by the Munro family, so all you need to take is a change of clothes. Very comfortable and cosy accommodation. Dog friendly was a bonus for us.

6 JULY 2017

Thank you for your fantastic review of Am Bathach. We are delighted you had a wonderful stay.

20 JUNE 2017

It was absolutely perfect - a little gem in a beautiful setting.
The owner was extremely helpful.
Welcome basket was amazing!

22 JUNE 2017

What a wonderful review of Am Bathach. We are so glad it was perfect for you.

23 MAY 2017

If you're going to run a self-catering cottage this is how it should be done. Warm welcome, clear tour of the property telling us what we needed to work all the equipment. Fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. Fresh bread, a homemade cake, food for the first night, milk in the fridge etc. Fresh cut flowers even. Possibly the best self-catering experience we've ever had.

24 MAY 2017

Thank you for taking the time to review your holiday at Am Bathach. It sounds as though you had a wonderful time there in the Scottish Highlands. The owners have put a lot of thought and care into the property and really want their guests to have a memorable stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again.

6 MARCH 2017

Service was excellent and the location was fantastic!

17 FEBRUARY 2017

Could not fault the Munro family. They thought of everything and more. Very friendly, hospitable and it was if we were neighbours not lodgers.

9 JANUARY 2017

Great cottage - superb housekeeping service.

30 NOVEMBER 2016

Great location very peaceful lovely people couldn't do enough for us will definitely revisit

13 OCTOBER 2016

Lovely place, ideally located between east, west and north coasts for touring. Lovely couple who own it, very friendly, informative and helpful, plus the animals on the croft were hilarious!

8 SEPTEMBER 2016

Lovely hosts, helpful and attentive but not intrusive. Freshly baked cake in the kitchen when we arrived, hamper of goodies, home laid eggs. Every need catered for. High standard of conversion and decoration to the property. Clean and cozy. Very rural, but that's what we wanted. Central for exploring north, east and west coasts. Would absolutely return, and recommend to others.

18 JULY 2016

Am Bathach is a stunning Highland hideaway. Large comfortable beds, a well equipped kitchen and tasteful, comfortable furnishings throughout. The hosts are a delightful, friendly and helpful couple and there were many thoughtful and kind touches to give us a special week away.

16 MAY 2016

Very well presented and equipped cottage. Could use an ensuite upstairs to make it perfect.

6 APRIL 2018

This was not as rural as i expected. We have been to many RR properties over the years and all of them have been 5 star. This was too near a main road, view from front window SO depressing. It struggles in my view to be a 'rural retreat'
The welcome pack, the cleanliness etc all good - no problem with that - really nice. However it was disappointing to say the least from this aspect.

9 APRIL 2018

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you felt that everything was really nice but I am sorry that you were disappointed with the location of the Coach House. Whilst most of our properties are rural we do have some exceptions and we feel The Coach House is special because of its location to Woodstock and, of course, Oxford with all the wonderful things to see and do there.

11 FEBRUARY 2018

Very well equipped, comfortable, warm, and conveniently located property.

9 JANUARY 2018

Extremely spacious, well equipped, clean and cosy accommodation.. Great base from which to explore. Friendly, helpful host. Would be very happy to return.

9 AUGUST 2017

Location of property is on a busy main road. However, the interior of the property was of a very good standard.

28 SEPTEMBER 2017

Thank you for your feedback and we are pleased that you felt that the interior of the property was good. As the map shows the property is set off the Upper Campsfield Road from Bladon to Kidlington.

13 JUNE 2017

The Coach House in Woodstock was extremely clean and well presented. There was everything there we could wish for to make it a home from home experience. The owner was very helpful and accommodating of all our needs. Kind welcome hamper was presented.
Only 1 thing could be seen as slightly detrimental; it was a little out of the way from shops, pub etc and was very near a busy main road which at times was noisy.
A good base for Oxford and Blenheim Palace though.

18 MARCH 2017

The accommodation was faultless

25 FEBRUARY 2017

26 FEBRUARY 2018

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.

21 SEPTEMBER 2017

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.

4 SEPTEMBER 2017

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.

29 AUGUST 2017

Beautiful. Modern but quaint.

2 FEBRUARY 2017

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.

10 JANUARY 2017

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

4 JANUARY 2017

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.

8 DECEMBER 2016

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

21 NOVEMBER 2016

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.

16 NOVEMBER 2016

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!

24 OCTOBER 2016

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.

13 DECEMBER 2017

We are so pleased that you had a wonderful stay at lovely Hillview. Thank you so much for your kind comments about the property and our service.

6 NOVEMBER 2017

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.

22 SEPTEMBER 2017

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.

4 SEPTEMBER 2017

Exactly as described......

29 AUGUST 2017

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

8 AUGUST 2017

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.

We loved Hillview. It was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped and in a great location for all the attractions of The Cotswolds.
We particularly liked the generous sized bedroom and comfortable bed and the nicely sized and equipped bathroom.
It was lovely thaf we had proper and reliable WiFi too -a real bonus.
The local pub was friendly and had very good food only a few hundred yards away.
The courtyard garden would be perfect in the summer.
All in all a great cottage thoughtfully refurbished!

Amazing cottage, not one bad thing to say. It had everything you needed, beautifully decorated and the most amazingly soft white bath towels!! Hamper was so great we didn't need to go out for tea on our arrival. Really enjoyed it and will be hoping to re-book, if not there, certainly another one of your cottages if they're all as nice

8 JANUARY 2017

We loved this cottage. I love my home comforts but as soon as we arrived I felt at home instantly. I can't recommend it enough, everything was perfect down to the little details. It made our Christmas extra special, can't wait to return

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

17 OCTOBER 2017

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).

26 JULY 2017

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.

19 JULY 2017

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.

17 JULY 2017

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.

2 OCTOBER 2017

Thank you for your feedback. I am pleased that you thought Owl House was a good property but sorry that you weren't happy with the cost of our Cornish shippen.

4 JULY 2017

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.

15 OCTOBER 2016

We were pleased with the cottage in general but felt that the bed was uncomfortable due to a lot of use and needs replacing. We also felt that the property was expensive for the size of the accommodation.
The housekeeper was very helpful.

11 APRIL 2016

Loved it. I guess it might be better to have a washing machine for a week, there are not enough utensils etc to fill a dishwasher before you need them again. If you are with a dog or walking then it's nice to wash muddy and wet stuff but perhaps some people won't book unless they see a dishwasher! We loved it there. Found the 4pm arrival restrictive as it wastes the first holiday day making it awkward for small breaks.

4 APRIL 2016

The cottage was absolutely amazing and immaculate
The welcome hamper was such a kind gesture and lasted our stay
The cottage was also ready by 10am instead of 4pm
We received a text which was nice and made the start of our break even better
Will be returning

11 JANUARY 2016

Highly recommend, perfect romantic getaway - everything I hoped for and more.

15 JULY 2015

No views. Adjacent property was let by a different agency causing confusion re parking. Grounds were accessible from both properties so privacy was compromised.

26 MAY 2015

Owl House is a lovely little cottage, very clean and well maintained with tasteful furnishings and decorations. My sister and I both loved it and we wish we'd booked a longer stay. It's placed in an ideal location for getting to local places of interest, but you must follow directions to the letter in order to find it... I'm not complaining :) Will certainly book again with Rural Retreats and will recommend them to friends and work colleagues.

Owl House, in the quiet hamlet of Treneague, within walking distance of Wadebridge, is a neat, converted stable standing in the grounds of a 17th century cottage which is not overlooked. French windows lead to a secluded terrace with fig trees and yuccas, enclosed by dry stonework. With only the sound of owls at night, this is a restful location.

Beautifully clean and well equipped cottage - perfect.

23 NOVEMBER 2016

Excellent housekeeping and overall management.

14 NOVEMBER 2016

The cottage on the whole was excellent but there were a couple of reasons why we can only rate it as good...there was an unusual smell in the cottage which we could not source, it wasn't entirely pleasant but towards the end of the week it wasn't noticeable due to getting used to it. It would have been extra nice had the carpets not been hessian as this made it slightly uncomfortable if barefoot. Thirdly, we heard noises from the roof one night which we can only assume to be some wildlife living there with it being thatch. On the whole though the cottage was cosy, warm, very clean and the welcome hamper was excellent and we would consider returning.

28 OCTOBER 2016

We were particularly impressed by just how immaculate Rose Cottage was and very cosy - and our Welcome Hamper was a delight! Local eggs, milk, bread, and cake, fruit, juice, wine, tea and coffee and cereals - we were very grateful and enjoyed it very much. What a great thing to arrive to late in the afternoon. We had a few problems with lightbulbs and a hidden light switch - but all sorted out by friendly local Rural Retreats Staff - we are very impressed and we will be booking with you again!

18 OCTOBER 2016

Again full marks for the beautiful cottage the whole service provided was top class ,everything was perfect and well worth the money.everything was so clean and perfectly presented and the welcome hamper was lovely! It really made our short break so special we were truly sorry to leave! Rest assured we will be back as we ran out of time to see it all!

23 SEPTEMBER 2016

This is the second time we have used Rose Cottage,itself, proof that we love it. On a very minor note,not worth a mention at the time, the notes accompanying describing places to visit etc. One suspects that a section that describes places of interest being a short walk from the cottage are being confused with Moore Cottage: Rose Cottage is certainly a little more than that to Birdland for example (14.8 miles!). The Cottage is great though and we had a giggle about it.

19 SEPTEMBER 2016

We felt cottage was a bit small but perhaps that was a personal thing. Welcome hamper was nice although we would have appreciated some additional cereal (only two small boxes available) and perhaps a smaller cake ie. a loaf cake; the Victoria sponge was very nice (we actually took it home with us) but it was a bit large for two people! Cottage was clean and tidy and all-in-all a good base for visiting the local tourist areas.

Many thanks

8 AUGUST 2016

It was fabulous!

1 AUGUST 2016

The cottage and village were excellent. Our only gripe is that there was scaffolding and building work in the property next door and we were woken about 7.45am on the weekdays. and if we were sitting in the garden the workmen were on the roof next door, sometimes with an electric tile cutter shattering the peace. Shouldn't you let customers know if there is building work nearby?

17 MAY 2016

Rose Cottage was a delight, beautifully furnished and equipped, a real home from home. The welcome hamper was great and added to the little touches. Thank you for making our short holiday so enjoyable and we hope to return.

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

19 JANUARY 2018

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.

23 JANUARY 2018

Thank you for your comments about lovely Sakers Cottage. I am very pleased that you liked the decor and the equipment and I will pass on your comments about the cold air.

13 OCTOBER 2017

While everything was perfect! No remarks at all!

18 SEPTEMBER 2017

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.

31 JULY 2017

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

17 JULY 2017

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

7 JULY 2017

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.

12 JULY 2017

We are delighted that you had a great holiday. Thank you for your lovely comments about Sakers Cottage and of course the delicious cake that our guests there always enjoy.

26 JUNE 2017

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.

27 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your review of Sakers Cottage. We are pleased that you thought the cottage lovely and the hamper generous. On the website it says 'In order to benefit from the stunning floor to ceiling window there are no curtains, however eye masks are provided to ensure a good nights sleep during the summer months'. Up until now this has just been under the picture of the bedroom but we have now put it as an added note.

26 JUNE 2017

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.

28 JUNE 2017

What lovely feedback, thank you so much.

19 MAY 2017

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.

10 APRIL 2017

Highly recommended cottage.

9 FEBRUARY 2017

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

12 JANUARY 2017

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.

5 DECEMBER 2016

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.

1 NOVEMBER 2016

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.

30 SEPTEMBER 2016

Delightful, thoughtful.

21 SEPTEMBER 2016

Just the perfect! Beautiful and quiet rural setting surrounded by orchards,

Sakers Cottage nestles within the last remaining Apple and Pear orchards of the area. It has a completely self contained and very private garden. Enjoy long summer days sitting in the shade of the old tree and enjoy the fragrant scent and colours of the summer flowers planted in borders and pots on the paved terrace. During cold winter days, stay cosy and warm inside and admire the ever changing view over open fields from the panorama window upstairs in the cottage. You may even catch a glimpse of one of our rare breed pigs in a far paddock!

Great characterful property. V safe for dogs. Owner v friendly and obliging. Excellently equipped property.

25 SEPTEMBER 2017

We spent a lovely, relaxing week here.The Cider Mill is cosy, comfortable and equipped with everything you might need. The underfloor heating is great. The location, surrounded by orchards, is lovely and peaceful but within easy reach of many places of interest. Harold was very hospitable and provided a good welcome hamper (and tasty homemade apple cake).

11 AUGUST 2017

Great location and cottage is lovely

25 JULY 2017

Great location and a beautiful converted Cider Mill. Owner friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

11 JULY 2017

The Cider Mill is a perfect location for peace and tranquillity. The surrounding orchards and countryside are beautiful with local pubs nearby.

5 JULY 2017

Very pleasant owner and an excellent hamper.

5 JUNE 2017

Harold is very friendly and knowledgable about the area made us feel very welcome. The property is quaint in a lovely location and people are very friendly in the area.
The bed was unfortunately so uncomfortable as it is so hard it must be an orthopaedic mattress it would really benefit from a luxury mattress topper that is extremely soft. Thankfully we slept on top of the duvet and used the blanket to keep us warm but lack of sleep rather spoilt the weekend. Also this property is marked as ground floor it really should say its a ground floor maisonette and that there is potentially people above. We would not have booked this property if we'd known we'd be below another property. Could do with some kitchen cloths to wipe surfaces as we only had a tired and rather dirty looking sponge. Hamper was not as well stocked as we have experienced elsewhere.

10 OCTOBER 2017

We're sorry you found the mattress uncomfortable. It is a relatively recent purchase and was sourced from a quality supplier. Beds are a tricky area as we all have different comfort requirements. As described on our website, The Cider Mill is all ground floor accommodation, with The Hop Kiln occupying the first floor of the same mill conversion. Both properties have their own access, gardens and seating areas. (These properties are booked separately).

27 JANUARY 2017

Harold was very welcoming and we found the Cider Mill warm and comfortable. We hope to return once the weather is better. A chopping board in the kitchen would be a useful addition.

9 JANUARY 2017

Superb. We'd love to live there !

28 NOVEMBER 2016

The cottage was spotless when we arrived and the standard of the food in the welcome pack was first class. We had everything we needed throughout our stay and found it to be an excellent base to explore Herefordshire and the surrounding counties

19 OCTOBER 2016

Very nice location and comfortable cosy accommodation. Underfloor heating was a bonus!

22 JULY 2016

Very good.

20 JUNE 2016

We have given this "cottage" a poor rating as we feel we were misled. The Cider Mill is in fact a downstairs flat. We were disappointed to find this out after four days when upstairs became occupied and we were subjected to a lot of noise of footsteps across the ceiling and we could hear their television above ours. This spoilt what would have been a lovely place. Also, the photograph on your website of the outside of the building is NOT that of the actual property.

12 JUNE 2017

The Cider Mill is one part of a 16th Century hop farm mill conversion. It is all ground floor accommodation, as detailed in our brochure, with its own access, garden and patio area. The Hop Kiln is the top floor of the same mill conversion, this property also has it's own access, garden and seating area. These properties are booked separately.

17 JUNE 2016

Cottage was clean and nice arrival basket provided. Couch and chair were very comfortable. Bed was so hard, we were unable to sleep on it. Used the couch and chair for the week which were acceptable if not ideal. Bathroom was nice with great shower. Lighting was good in unit.

31 MAY 2016

We loved staying at the cider mill. Everything was as we expected from a rural retreats cottage. This is the third cottage that we have booked through rural retreats and we were not disappointed. Harold was extremely welcoming and we appreciated his friendly, helpful approach.

A very well presented cottage, with a very comfy bed. Spotlessly clean and a delightful food hamper with attentive owners

17 OCTOBER 2017

steve and sue was amazing hosts they made sure we had everything we needed and more, I have never experienced this level of hospitality from the moment we was on the train they were in contact to find out what time we would reach as they said we could enter the property before 4pm which was awesome as sometimes with other homes you would typically have to wait and by then you would be tired especially if you came from far on public transport,they also messaged us the night before to find out our dietary requirements in case we were veggies as they prepared a lovely hamper (the best one we've had so far),steve also gave us a lift into town which was appreciated as we didn't drive, when we arrived it felt like home to the moment we left (we really didn't want to leave) it was a truly relaxing place we was planning when we wanted to come back already hopefully in the next few months , we will definitely reccomend to friends and family,a lot of thought has gone into making the cwtch high spec, warm,squeaky clean, no bugs or spiders ,amazing refreshing shower its just pure perfection, a must see/stay, thanks to steve and sue x.

A charming, stylish and homely cottage with everything you could need and more. The bed was very comfy and the games, books and DVD's were a great touch for a super relaxing weekend. Mousehole is a quaint, picture-perfect town & I didn't want to leave. we will definitely be back.

2 MARCH 2018

Great location, cosy, comfortable, well equipped. Parking would be very tricky high season.

5 JANUARY 2018

wonderful welcome pack, cosy cottage and being in Mousehole it is in a fantastic location.

14 DECEMBER 2017

It's a lovely cottage with good quality fittings and very comfy but very difficult for parking. We did have to park quite a distance away from the cottage.
The cottage was not ready at 4pm when we arrived and we were asked in advance if we required white or brown bread red or white wine. I stated white wine and brown bread. We had white bread and red wine!! Plus no milk in the fridge which was a little annoying because I would have purchased some earlier so we did have to then go looking and of course not knowing the area and being dark was a bit of a pain especially after a long journey.

However the cottage was clean and of a good standard.

15 DECEMBER 2017

Thank you for your feedback and lovely comments about The Langley Tarne. As a quintessential seaside village it has narrow streets and parking is in one of the car parks in the village. I am sorry about the housekeeping issues - the head of client services is visiting the property next week and will look into these.

20 NOVEMBER 2017

Sadly we could only stay one night as my husband was taken ill. Excellent information pack enabled us to get immediate help. Food hamper excellent, facilities, comfort too. Would love to go back one day.

20 NOVEMBER 2017

We were really sorry that you had to leave The Langley Tarne so early and I do hope that your husband is feeling better.

18 SEPTEMBER 2017

"Make this property a winter let only. With more warning of car park situation for the elderly eg a long walk and not always spaces available.The duvet was a very high tog rating and therefore unsuitable for summer use. The windows need to be closed for security purposes.There is no outside area for relaxing, which means either a long walk to the beach or sitting in a dark room".

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Langley Tarne. We're sorry there were elements of your stay that you weren't happy with. Our website pages for the cottage offer a link to the Mousehole Harbour website which gives full details on the nearby public car parks in the village. As shown on our website, Langley Tarne has two front sash windows that look out onto a characterful winding lane. As with all of our cottages, we would recommend closing all windows and locking external doors when you leave the cottage. Although the Tarne doesn't have a garden, the beach & harbour are 100 metres away, along with plenty of lovely cafes, art galleries and artisan bakers. Not forgetting of course the beautiful December harbour lights and November bonfire night firework displays.

Good in all respects. Thank you

16 OCTOBER 2017

Lovely cottage in a lovely location, would highly recommend. Would have been five stars but for a few niggling things that should have been in order. Toilet seat was loose, a bulb not working on arrival, I could not find any useful information on the central heating on and off times, Some of the information in the cottage information file was also out of date. We had to visit a GP whilst away, there is one in the village but the information file says the nearest is at Moreton 8 miles away. Things like this should be accurate as it could be important in an emergency.
Still, I reiterate, a lovely cottage and we may well return for another short break

23 SEPTEMBER 2017

Vine Cottage is very nice and the off road parking was a bonus. However, there where only 4 coat hangers and a small dank cupboard to hang anything in. We had to purchase extra coat hangers and an over door hanging rack to allow us to hang clothes up. Perhaps a wardrobe could be considered.

13 JULY 2017

Such a amazing few days in a wonderful quaint cottage.

28 NOVEMBER 2016

The cottage was lovely, a short walk into the town centre. The hamper was full of local products and everything tasted great!

4 NOVEMBER 2016

As you can see we love it, and very much appreciated the special touches that the housekeeper provided, such as flowers, and very nice soaps, bath gel etc. There were all the instructions we needed, the main one to operate the cooker and the fire, not that we needed the fire as the cottage was beautifully warm. The other nice thing was that the pillows were so comfortable. I didn't look, but felt as if they were feathers. I always bring my Tempur pillow with me in case, but didn't need it!
Thank you for another lovely stay, and look forward to returning later next year!

Excellent cottage made it a fabulous break away

28 AUGUST 2016

Clean, tidy, exactly as described, great welcome pack, superb location. Minor decorative re-touches need.

16 AUGUST 2016

Our expectations for the property were high, were due to Rural Retreats reputation. The property required vacuuming due to a vast amount of cobwebs. The decor is in desperate need of painting. The bathroom was in an extremely poor state. The toilet system had come away from the wall. The show screen and all around the bath taps was discusting. The bath plug simply didn't seal. There were cracked floor tiles and paint peeling from the walls. The "secluded garden" is anything but, due to the shared passage way, where the neighbour had access to his shed and popped up several times a day! All in all, this could be a lovely cottage, but needs a lot of TLC.

1 AUGUST 2016

Pillows not up to standard. Need proper, new ones!

19 JULY 2016

Very impressed. The cottage was lovely and very well equipped. The garden was delightful and a lovely little oasis to return to at the end of the day. It was spotless and also had the cot and highchair we requested. We were also very pleased with the welcome hamper which had lots of breakfast things, tea, coffee some lovely bread, a bottle of wine and a delicious Victoria sponge!

13 JULY 2016

Housekeeping fine. Vine Cottage is very small downstairs and we felt overpriced compared to other properties we have stayed in. Little things needed attention and we felt fixtures and fittings just needed bit of an overhaul. Also fire alarm goes off every time you cook toast as so close to cooker! Good location for town though....

1 JUNE 2016

Good location. Cottage was a bit tired and needs a makeover.

12 JANUARY 2016

We found the bed slightly uncomfortable, other than that cottage first class, thank you

Overall the property was very good with everything supplied for our stay. The welcome hamper was excellent and the property was well presented and clean. However there was a small outbreak of flies the evening we arrived which we had to deal with and the shower drain blocked on first use but then seemed to clear on second use. Otherwise everything was great.

28 NOVEMBER 2017

Thank you for your lovely feedback for Downclose Piggeries. Unfortunately cluster flies are a problem that many of our properties, throughout the uk, have been experiencing this Autumn/Winter. It is made worse by the good weather we have had which is having a delaying effect on the flies hibernating.

25 MAY 2017

The cottage is equipped to a very high standard with very tasteful decor and furnishing.
One small criticism, the cutlery does not fit in the dishwasher basket unless you take the lid off!

More seriously, the doorway from sitting room to patio has a surprisingly low lintel which my companion who is not particularly tall cracked her head on very painfully. Perhaps a little warning notice would not spoil the look of the room?

One final comment: the property is described as being in Dorset but North Perrott, we discovered, is in South Somerset!!

Despite the above comments it is definitely a five star property.

18 MAY 2017

Excellent property with wonderful location. Beautifully clean and fresh. Delicious hamper. Would definitely visit again.

19 MARCH 2017

Cottage was exactly as described by Rural Retreats and just briliant. Delicious hamper and wine left for us so felt homely as soon as we walked through the door. Spotlessly clean and all extremely comfortable. Very warm and cosy cottage with brilliant views. Lovely host and hostess who came to see we had all we needed and supplied us with delicious home-grown lamb too. Another fabulous break from Rural Retreats. [Housekeeping services not used as only a long weekend ... sadly!]

25 FEBRUARY 2017

Tony popped in on the first day, we were still reading through the do's and don'ts book. Told him there were no coasters he said Hilary was away. The heating was all over the place, bathroom underfloor on 24hrs + the electric rad was also on, which we did switch off. Thankfully the underfloor heating was off in the bedroom but the central heating did not come on until we turned it up on the last day. We did speak to a man who said he would tell Tony who we eventually spoke to and he turned off the underfloor heating.

Julie was fantastic and made our Christmas very special. Property was fabulous, meticulous attention to detail and we didn't have to vacate the property at 10am which was a bonus. Hamper was lovely and good quality and her mincemeat slices and orange and brandy butter were delicious!

9 NOVEMBER 2016

Really enjoyed the cottage

24 OCTOBER 2016

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. It was very cosy and very nicely decorated. We enjoyed lighting the wood burning stove in the evening, the owner had left it all prepared for us. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived. I would definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit this lovely area of Wales

27 SEPTEMBER 2016

The cottage was immaculate and beautifully decorated to a high standard. Equipment was excellent and the owner seemed to have thought of everything even down to a little battery light fixed to the fridge side in case of a power cut. The welcome pack was excellent and there were fresh flowers beautifully arranged in all the rooms. Linen was lovely as were the towels and quality was very good. This is one of the best equipped and beautifully presented cottages we have stayed in via Rural Retreats. The standard of their cottages is very high.

16 SEPTEMBER 2016

This is a very well presented cottage, comfortable and well equipped.

Excellent property, better than described in brochure, everything one could want.

4 DECEMBER 2017

Really difficult to find Apple Tree Cottage in the dark, very confusing instructions, no signage and then poor lighting so you can't see to put codes in when you do eventually find it. General cleanliness was ok but needs better attention paid to deep cleaning, i.e. lots of cobwebs in corners, ceilings etc. Housekeeper didnt respond to messages. Lastly needs a proper frying pan or two; a wok doesn't work for breakfast items.

6 DECEMBER 2017

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you found Apple Tree Cottage difficult to find. We do say on the instructions "PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that during the winter months guests bring a torch". Also, as we said, the owner is always available to help and is the property contact with her number in the arrival guide which is sent 5 days before a visit. There are actually two brand new frying pans and three brand new saucepans in a kitchen cupboard - I am sorry you missed these. The wok is, of course, for stir frys.

24 OCTOBER 2017

Very quiet. Good location for visiting elsewhere. A couple of minor quibbles with equipment.

Good set up, v pleasant location, well presented. Lovely gardens. Communal area/entrance porch of the main coded entrance to all properties could have been tended to/kept nicer. Was full of leaves etc from day of arrival thru departure.

Fabulous cottage. Very well equipped. Idyllic setting.

24 OCTOBER 2016

Everything went well, as it has the other 3 times we've used Rural Retreats

17 OCTOBER 2016

cottage was clean and lovely

7 OCTOBER 2016

Cottage was basically fine but the services (particularly the hot water) were poor. Worse were the kitchen utensils. Coffee machine was dirty and full of used ground coffee, frying pan and saucepans (some lids of which were missing) badly scored, only one shelf in oven and no tin foil I could go on. Not up the RR standards.

19 JULY 2016

Fantastic cottage. Would definitely recommend.

6 APRIL 2016

Lovely location, no problems except for no milk in welcome pack which we would have expected and didn't realise until the next morning when we went to use some.

1 APRIL 2016

Completely average, or even below! The kitchen was not really clean and most of the crockery and cutlery had to be washed before use. The dishwasher had water in the bottom which had been there some time. Not all of the doors locked leaving the property unsecured. Many of the lights in the sitting area were not working.

12 JANUARY 2016

We had a lovely stay and the cottage was perfect. Excellent facilities and great location

15 JULY 2015

Lovely cottage in gorgeous location - needs wifi like the other cottages in the complex

15 JULY 2015

Cottage was beautifully equipped and very homely. Let down a little by the patio doors to the back garden having children's finger marks all over them and that the oven and grill pan were in great need of a good clean after previous visitors cooking efforts.

22 MAY 2015

Fantastic cottage - very peaceful setting

An excellent holiday cottage which ticked all our boxes. It was spotlessly clean, homely and superbly fitted out to a very high standard. It is also in a great location for walks to and around Bewl Water.

12 FEBRUARY 2018

Fantastic cottage in an idyllic location. We loved the fire and countryside views from every window. Can’t wait to stay again in the future.

9 SEPTEMBER 2017

What a lovely property - as well as being spotlessly clean and very comfortable in every way, this was an absolute haven of loveliness. Outside each little window was a peaceful country view, and inside every comfort imaginable, from the scrumptious hamper to the comfy beds and fluffy towels. We loved the circular bedroom and kitchen. And all this only an hour from home. If you can bear to leave the place, pop down the road to Pashley Manor, which has the most beautiful gardens and cafe.

What a lovely review for Bakers Farm Oast. Thank you so much.

20 JUNE 2017

Beautifully presented property in a wonderful location. It lived up to all our expectations.

Only couple of suggestions - firstly a bath mat being available in the bathrooms. One of our guests was worried they would slip as they suffer with a bad back stepping in and out of the bath with nothing to hold onto

Secondly - slightly more cutlery would be good as we kept running out between meals !

Thank you

21 JUNE 2017

We agree, Bakers Farm Oast is a fabulous property and very popular. Sorry you did not find the bath mat, apparently it is in the cupboard under the bath.

Beautiful character cottage in picturesque location. Make sure you heed the warnings about the spiral staircase though, it’s definitely not suitable for anyone with any mobility issues.

2 OCTOBER 2017

Beckwood cottage was cozy, beautiful, comfortable and provided excellent entertainment through the beautiful sheep covered hill side out it's windows. The village was walkable and we enjoyed our stay immensely.

3 OCTOBER 2017

We are delighted that you had such an enjoyable stay at Beckwood. Thank you for your lovely comments.

12 SEPTEMBER 2017

It was quirky (as advertised), probably in need of a freshen up.
Fun for 4 days, but any longer would have been a bit limiting.
TV was tiny.

12 SEPTEMBER 2017

Thank you for your feedback for our converted 17th century silk mill.

30 AUGUST 2017

Great location and cosy cottage but the winding steps over four floors presented some problems carrying items up and down safely.

14 AUGUST 2017

Quaint cottage; I'm not sure that the website advised about the steep stairs - it didn't matter to us but could to other families.
Instructions on how to use the central heating may have been useful though and how to get the towel rail to work.

16 AUGUST 2017

Thank you for your feedback. Yes we do mention the stairs on the website - 'Sadly this property is unsuitable for babies, children under eight years old or people with mobility difficulties, due to the number of floors and steep spiral stairs'. I will ask the housekeepers about the instructions for the central heating and towel rail.

23 JUNE 2017

This cottage was small but very cosy. The sound of the rushing water in the little brook at the end of the garden gave it an extra idyllic, peaceful note. The view from all the back windows was very beautiful. The kitchen in the cottage was well resourced and the open fire in the living room was pleasant. The cottage is situated in a small beautiful village, with good hiking routes all around. We loved our stay and had a great time.
Although it was comfortable enough for us for the four days we spend there, it is however not a place for people that have problems with stairs and are rather on the tall side. It is a vertical cottage, with four levels and only one bathroom. That is, it is inevitable to have to go up and down the stairs several times during the day (and maybe night, for some). The stairs are, if not completely spiral, close to it and rather steep. One has to be also careful with some parts of the celling in the top bedroom, as well as in the entrance to the kitchen from the back garden. There is the danger of “banging heads”.

29 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your lovely feedback - I am really pleased that you had a great time. As a former silk mill it is indeed an unusual property with steep spiral staircases leading to all levels.

7 MAY 2017

We very much enjoyed our Cotswold holiday as the weather was fine and the gardens we visited spectacular.
However, the cottage Beckwood was a bit disappointing. Up to now, we have been happy to pay Rural Retreats premium prices as in the past we have always been very impressed by [and relied on] their premium products - ie very high quality cottages immaculately presented and equipped.
Sadly Beckwood is tired and in need of an upgrade - it is no longer a premium product of the usual RR standard.
3 examples - very poor paint work with much chipping [and some missing plaster] throughout the house; 2 dessert bowls for a 4 person cottage.... - really?; a very dirty [and hence unhygienic] sofa - loose covers are loose so they can be cleaned when needed!

8 MAY 2017

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Beckwood. I am sorry about the issues you encountered. We will inspect the cottage and make arrangements to restock the crockery and clean the sofa covers. With regards to the plaster and paintwork, we'll contact the property owner.We do hope this singular occurrence will not deter you from booking with us in the future.

9 MAY 2017

An update on the previous reply - the owner has arranged for redecoration the stairways

27 MARCH 2017

It's a lovely little cottage. I should have taken more notice of the layout - that the rooms are spread across 4 floors, with short, but steep spiral staircases joining all floors. Not designed for knees that are not as young as they were, but the cottage is worth it and Blockley is a lovely little village.

8 MARCH 2017

We loved Beckwood Cottage, quaint layout in a lovely little village, ripple of the stream really calming, all our needs catered for, clean warm & welcoming, fab hamper, thank you very much, a memorable stay.

6 DECEMBER 2016

The cottage was exactly as it had been described on the website, and had everything that you could possibly need to enjoy your stay.

23 NOVEMBER 2016

It was a stunning cottage. Very cosy indeed. The beds where very comfortable. The garden is beautiful. We would definitely stay here again. Blockely is a beautiful village. The great western arms is good pub to eat in also. You need to book a table.

10 OCTOBER 2016

Fabulous, especially the kitchen. We had everything we needed for cooking. Also loved the fireplace and extra wood. Very cosy.

7 OCTOBER 2016

I would have said excellent but we had a problem with lots of tiny flies in the bedroom.

11 SEPTEMBER 2016

The welcome pack was amazing, the best we have experienced. The cottage was clean and very well presented but it seemed a bit tired. The carpets have seen better days and the bathroom could be updated. The side bath panel was marked. Although care had been taken to mention the steep stairs and age limit for people staying at the cottage nothing was mentioned about the low beam in the top bedroom and the extremely low back door. This was particularly leathal. My husband is only 5ft 6 ins and he knocked his head several times, especially when putting things in the recycling bins outside the back door. For Health and Safety reasons this should be addressed with the door lintel being marked as low. We loved the quirkiness of the cottage and the beds and bedding were lovely. It was also very nice to have sample toiletries, cotton wool and cleaning products in the kitchen. We would definitely use Rural Retreats again and would recommend them to others.

19 AUGUST 2016

Very good cottage such a relaxing and tranquil holiday

19 JULY 2016

Accommodation very well equipped, everything we needed was available, lovely clean and nicely furnished cottage. Welcome food basket was a treat. Will most certainly be booking again. Thank you.

27 JUNE 2016

This holiday cottage - Beckwood cottage in Blockley - is in need of a facelift. We were really disappointed with it - broken outside chairs, drab decor throughout, even an ugly pay phone in the living room! Honestly not at all close to the standard we have come to expect from the several RR cottages I have stayed in over the years. Disappointed.

7 JUNE 2016

Your cottage was wonderful - very clean and tidy with an incredible hamper. We did find it difficult to locate the actual cottage as the name had been covered by overgrown plants. We LOVED our stay! With thanks.

Cottage was clean and great to see the hamper when we arrived. Even with the snow problems! Contacted Rural Retreats as delayed departure because of snow , but they sorted everything out. First class !!

22 FEBRUARY 2018

The cottage is beautifully clean and comfortable and the hamper is magnificent

22 SEPTEMBER 2017

The lounge has a terrible smell. This is likely due to the large amount of mould growing on the back wall (see photo). (Also mould on wall of the "snug")

The internet didn't work for half of the holiday. After numerous calls, and a BT visit it turned out that the router was faulty. It was at least 8 years old, and should have been replaced long before our visit

The microwave did not work, it turned on, but didn't heat.

The toaster set off the smoke alarm every time it was used

The DVD on display in the lounge did not work. After wasting time trying to make it work we discovered there was a built in DVD on the TV and the player on the stand is for display only.

The light to indicate that the top oven has reached temperature is broken

The bath overflow leaks into the lounge and judging by patches on ceiling of lounge this has been happening for a while.

The kettle appears to be on the way out as it doesn't always turn off when it boils.

Owner booked an engineer to come out early one morning (9:00 am) with out asking us if convenient. The water had to be turned off while we were all in the middle of getting ready in the morning.

The sofas are very old and uncomfortable.

One of the kitchen drawers is very stiff and very difficult to use, which is awkward as it is the draw that the cutlery is stored.

The housekeeper left the cottage very clean, and a very nice supply in the hamper, but it is clear the owners have not maintained the property or replaced any items for a number of years.

20 SEPTEMBER 2017

a) Comfortable

b) Everything provided

5 JULY 2017

Beautiful cottage, conveniently located to explore North Cornwall. The house was quiet and the garden was perfect for enjoying the warm weather. This was much appreciated by our dog. The housekeeper was very helpful, left the cottage immaculate, and provided a generous welcome hamper of local produce. The cottage was well equipped but looking a little tired. Would score 5 with new settees and a kitchen upgrade.

5 JULY 2017

Thank you for your review of Cocks Cottage. I am delighted that you had a good break - we are in discussion with the owner about a kitchen upgrade and new settees.

22 JUNE 2017

The cottage was dowdy and needs decorating and freshening up.The upstairs bathroom looks like a 70's sauna. The kitchen table is too big for the size of the room. The garden needs some proper attention as well with the garden chairs being rusty. The sofas in the sitting room need to be replaced. The central heating radiators could do with bleeding. Too much fabric softener on the towels which made them feel a bit slimy and less absorbent.

The welcome basket and provisions were excellent and the cottage well stocked with tableware, cutlery etc., and the cottage is neat and in a very pretty location, but is overpriced and could have been £200 less as a fair price.

22 JUNE 2017

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you were unhappy with several aspects of Cocks Cottage and I have passed your comments on to the owner.

23 MAY 2016

Beautiful cozy cottage. Housekeeping could not be faulted, lovely hamper on arrival and everything was clean.

15 APRIL 2016

High standard as always. However some minor issues such as bulbs not working and would be good to have some DVDs at the property (as with other properties we have been to). A decent local map is always useful too. That said a very relaxing stay and most of the facilities were of a high standard.

7 MARCH 2016

Charming building. Logs for fire. Cream tea ingredients. Quite location. Wonderful.

29 JANUARY 2016

We had a very good holiday. The cottage is in an excellent position and quite comfortable. Little things stopped us rating it as excellent. For example, the cottage sleeps four but the teapot was only big enough for two cups, the towels were a little small, the sofas quite saggy. So nothing hugely wrong with the accommodation, just not outstanding as some of the Rural Retreats we have stayed in (14 at the last count) have been. The area, of course, is a wonderful location for a holiday.

It was wonderfully clean and well taken care of. The only point I would make is the indoor lighting is poor and the cottage seemed dark and not well lit (either in the living room or the dining area). The blind in the bedroom was also a little mouldy when pulled down. The shower was great and lots of hot water, the bed and pillows were very comfortable and the walks from the cottage were fantastic.
