Mark, United Kingdom May 24, 2026 07:00:00 AM
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: We enjoyed the quiet location but also its proximity to the railway. The accommodation was compact but had everything we needed. The hosts were able to help and resolve a couple of very minor issues on our arrival.
Negative: We felt the sink in the bathroom was too small especially with the cabinet above making proper use of it difficult. The allocated parking space is awkward to get in and out of especially for a larger vehicle so we ended parking on a piece of waste ground at the bottom of the drive.
Summary: Very comfortable quiet stay especially for train enthusiasts like ourselves

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: business
Positive: Close to where I wanted to go. Despite it being close to the train station there was little noise and none that disturbed me.
Negative: Because of sloping roof you need to be careful of banging your head. Having low sports car I had to be careful of the ramp into the garage but not a real issue
Summary: A well built and comfortable apartment

Travel Purpose: business
Positive: The accommodation is super and beautiful. It offers everything you need. Local hosts also very friendly.
Negative: The booking provider sky cottages is an absolute disaster. Since I was travelling on business, I was dependent on an invoice. This was wrong despite multiple inquiries. The customer service hardly gives any feedback on concerns. Probably stay on part of the cost. I'm sorry for the local owners as the accommodation is really nice.
