The Duchess of Cornwall Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely clean large room. Great tv with a superb picture. Plenty of tea / coffee and biscuits welcome tray. We were surprised how quiet our sleep was, the pub below was busy but no sound from it. The decoration of the whole venue is incredible with so much to look at. There is a lot of car spaces but the area is very busy so it’s a bit of a search to find one."

"First Class a must visit to see"

Bracken Cottage

8/10 Good

"Had a great 6 night stay here. Check in was very easy, key safe on the wall outside. As soon as we got inside the cottage, which had a lovely warm welcoming cosy feel to it. We loved all the little extra decorations scattered around. Well stocked with plates, glasses cutlery etc.. Even some extras that we didn't expect like the smoothie blender and spice rack. Only downside was all the towels were bundled in a heap on the bathroom floor. Not sure what had happened here, whether the cleaners had forgot to collect and replace from last guests? Anyway, had to call a contact number and inform them. Was told this would be done the next day. When a guy turned up the next day he questioned us about the towels and collected the used towels but told us he didn't have any fresh towels and that he would come again tomorrow when cleaning one of the other cottages. This was a little frustrating and made us think if the bed sheets had been changed as not presented very well when first entering as had a electric blanket thrown on top. The cleaner told us the towels should of been on the bed on arrival. They did seem clean... and hoped they were. The location was great with a good pub right over the road. Easy parking and no noise at night. It does have a working farm at the back so you will hear dairy cows mooing and some sort of water/fluid pump running in the mornings. The bed was a little soft for my liking but we all have different preferences. I would stay again as such a cosy cottage"
