8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Liked: Clean and modern facilities such as coffee machine and Quooker tap, the location (the Plough Inn and the lunch at the cafe inside (Running Fox) was very good, however it stops serving food after 3.30pm and the pub doesn't provide dinner. We had to drive to Longframlington for dinner. ) It is a lovely cottage and it is in a beautiful area. (Saw a pheasant in the garden as well) Didn't like: The toilet seats are too high. You need to be 175cm or taller to sit on them with your feet touching the floor. Even if it was very clean, the toilet smelled a bit when I opened the toilet door. I think the toilet doors and the shower doors need to be opened after use as there's no extractor fans; instead there is air circulation system running for the whole house. We had to empty the dishwasher ourselves when we checked in.

10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The Cottage was clean, cosy, modern and exactly as depicted in the website details.Well appointed in general with high end kitchen equipment, comfortable beds, settee and armchairs.It had an attractive exterior cosy cottage look, nice garden with barbecue available.The layout of the main lounge is a bit disjointed due to the remaining open hearth and heater being right in the middle of the room ( this was evident in the website photos so no complaints) but it meant we had to move the 2 armchairs up next to the settee- not a problem more an observation!One room has an en-suite and no TV- the other has a TV but a separate bathroom. The shower units are very small but the showers themselves are great!Again just observations!The property could do with a bit more general cutlery , crockery and glassware- what is provided is of excellent quality but it meant that we were having to wash up more regularly than necessary! Observation again!Overall The Cottage is a really nice property, quiet location off road and very close to the excellent Plough pub and Running Fox tearoom and more.Any queries we had were replied to in a very timely, helpful and considerate manner and we would specifically like to compliment Paula for her support.
