Sep 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication #### Remote Cottage The cottage was lovely, clean and cosy. But the cottage its self is very remote . You need to get your supplies before you get there as there is nothing in the cottage has in a welcome pack . The hot tub was only luke warm and was never checked all weekend. Which wasnt good ! I was expecting it to be hot / warm . The cottage could do with suppling a few essentials like salt , pepper , oil and more than 1 toilet roll for 2 toilets . But the cottage itself was nice, clean and well presented, for the price there could have been the little extras . I never saw a property manger so i couldnt rate them . ##### Kay P.

Clean, and well spec’d. Excellent location with fantastic views. Can’t fault the house / grounds at all. In fact it is probably in the top 2 we’ve ever stayed in and we would definitely go back.There are 2 things that could have made it better.1\. The hot tub price isn’t included in the cost of the cottage. This isn’t an issue as running them must be expensive and it is noted in the information on the rental however I missed that and when we have hired cottages in the past we always search for those which have a hot tub and this has always been within the price. It’s not for the owners but I think for the website it would be helpful to have two prices shown, one for use of hot tub one for without use of hot tub.2\. This is a very minor point but compared to the previous stays we’ve always previously had a small welcome package usually consisting of a pint of milk, some biscuits and occasionally a bottle of wine. Whilst again I recognise you don’t pay for this it was just noticeable this wasn’t there when we arrived as had always been in the previous stays.However as earlier the property and location are fantastic and I would definitely recommend it. ##### Christopher M This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane Hudson Jan 4, 2026 #### Cottage was lovely with great views of the valley. Cottage was lovely with great views of the valley. A bit disappointing that the hot tub is extra cost. ##### Diane Hudson ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Grassington Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Grassington-Lodge.h76266496.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Settle-Hotels-The-Coach-House.h26995237.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [The Red Lion at Hellidon](https://www.expedia.ca/Daventry-Hotels-The-Red-Lion-At-Hellidon.h37289678.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliveden House - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > > [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > > [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hunting Tower Chatsworth Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Hunting-Tower-A-Unique-Property-Overlooking-Chatsworth-House.h41486098.Hotel-Information) > > [Trendrennen Farm B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Penzance-Hotels-Trendrennen-Farm-Bed-And-Breakfast.h35251746.Hotel-Information) > > [The Chequers at Burcot](https://www.expedia.ca/Abingdon-Hotels-The-Chequers-At-Burcot.h38835529.Hotel-Information) > > [Saul Farm](https://www.expedia.ca/Gloucester-Hotels-Saul-Farm.h16509323.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Cottage Near Bath](https://www.expedia.ca/Bath-Hotels-Beautiful-Cottage-Near-Bath.h107582351.Hotel-Information) > > [Rose Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Rose-Cottage.h31001473.Hotel-Information) > > [Brownhill House](https://www.expedia.ca/Shrewsbury-Hotels-Brownhill-House.h2694944.Hotel-Information) > > [Host & Stay | Number Four, PigLets](https://www.expedia.ca/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-Host-Stay-Number-Four.h111389998.Hotel-Information) > > [Cosy cottage located on the Isle of Purbeck ](https://www.expedia.ca/Wareham-Hotels-Luxury-Cottage-Located-On-The-Isle-Of-Purbeck.h18797221.Hotel-Information) > > [Slyne Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lancaster-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Lancaster.h99890368.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Coaching Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Gainsborough-Hotels-Red-Lion-Coaching-Inn.h91944827.Hotel-Information) > > [5 bedroom accommodation in Pentney, King’s Lynn](https://www.expedia.ca/Kings-Lynn-Hotels-5-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Pentney.h92310860.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sails a beautifully presented chalet bungalow with](https://www.expedia.ca/Chichester-Hotels-The-Sails-A-Beautifully-Presented-Chalet-Bungalow-With.h95118395.Hotel-Information) > > [Spring Gardens B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Wadebridge-Hotels-Spring-Gardens-BB.h36049763.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Court Hotel, BW Signature Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Alcester-Hotels-Kings-Court-Hotel.h1223389.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great Hallingbury Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishops-Stortford-Hotels-The-Great-Hallingbury-Manor.h2123886.Hotel-Information) > > [Greenhill Farm Barn B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Banbury-Hotels-Greenhill-Farm-Barn-BB.h30105240.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Norwich-Hotels-Lakeside-Lodge.h31001547.Hotel-Information) > > [The Green Man Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishops-Stortford-Hotels-The-Green-Man-Boutique-Hotel.h9247769.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hawkley Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Liss-Hotels-The-Hawkley-Inn.h4383820.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cross at Croscombe](https://www.expedia.ca/Wells-Hotels-The-Cross-At-Croscombe.h35380551.Hotel-Information)
