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.

Quiet but enjoyable few days at Foxes Reach with our dog Woody.

Wonderful cottage, great location, lots of long walks and bike rides.

Great takeaway food from the Lion Inn Trelleck have all the extras and Christmas cheer!

Thank you for the upgrade.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at Vanilla Cottage. It has provided us woth a much needed change of scenery after such a strange year. The accommodation is very comfortable and extremely well equipped with commendable attention to detail. We particularly enjoyed the home made blackcurrant vodka!

What a lovely week we have spent in cosy and spotlessly clean Foxes Reach. We have spent our days walking, playing board games and getting to know our little granddaughter. Wine to drink and flowers in every room – very memorable.
