Reviews from our guests

There are several places where our guests leave us comments.

Not everyone writes in our books – but some people do write by hand in the visitor books in each cottage ( sometimes even signed by the pets! ) Sometimes people forget to write in the book and e mail us later. We faithfully copy these comments as they come in and we upload them here. The only thing we ever hide or alter is the full guest name and address for obvious reasons of privacy.

Secondly we encourage our guests to write about us on the site through which they booked (Trip Advisor, Air B and B, Cottages.com, Freetobook  etc)

As you will see we do have brilliant reviews. They are genuine, not a “fix” and  and its not that nothing ever goes wrong!  Although our standards are very high just occasionally, in the real world,  things are bound to happen. Machines fail, something breaks. The successive good reviews are  because if something does go awry, and if our guests tell us about it  during their stay,  we do move heaven and earth to fix it while those guests are still with us. People greatly appreciate this effort  on our part  and we guarantee  we always make it. If once in a while a review is less than wonderful it is  almost always the case that it was outside our control ( internet down or slow in the whole area for example)  or  sometimes we were  inexplicably only advised about a problem after those guests had departed when there was sadly nothing we could do to make it better.

This stylish, charming cottage has provided an excellent retreat to celebrate an aunt’s 80th birthday! Malcolm and Fiona have combined exemplary customer care to complement their high standard of accommodation. Thank you so much for your welcome treats – they were very much appreciated – especially the blackcurrant vodka!!

Arrived Friday pm to a warm welcome from Malcolm.
Really like the cottage, very quaint, enjoyed reading its history. Lovely belated 80th for my mum.
We have also stayed at the cottage in Tintern and thoroughly recommend that also.

Long very damp weekend- but had a great break, meeting up with friends. Cottage lovely- everything you needed, great hosts thanks you Fiona and Malcolm.
Max our lab had a great time – Sunday lunch at The Black Bear a must. Foxhunter pub dog friendly and great food.
Many thanks

A proper cottage! (And all mod cons)
Everything to hand with a lovely garden. The welcome package of wines and flowers and cake was unexpected and much appreciated.
The bathrobes and blackcurrant vodka were a superb bonus.
Malcolm and Fiona could not have done more to make us feel welcome.
All in all a very pleasant and enjoyable break.
