Got to the venue and was greeted with an amazing food hamper with all the essentials you need and more if you have had a long drive and don’t won’t to get out and find a shop. The setting was beautiful and you had full access to the grounds and walks close by. We had an issue at first when something wasn’t provided that we asked for but one phone call and that was brought to us within the hour, which I thought was amazing service. Would fully recommend staying here for anyone in the future as the place was perfect and couldn’t complain about anything.

The cottage was very spacious, immaculate with lots of character. Wonderfully situated near the woodland where we walked our dog every day. We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas at Stag Cottage and appreciated the Christmas tree and generous hamper. Disappointed with the noise that came through from the adjoining cottage. We knew the cottages were attached but the door between is the two cottages is very thin. Given the adjacent cottage can take large groups this will always be the case. We would have liked to have some firm pillows for sleeping. Every pillow was very soft and not supportive. Thought I should mention these issues given the high standard that rural retreats likes to maintain.

Cottage excellent just 3 points. We felt the TV sound was poor and a better quality set might be more in keeping with the quality of the cottage. The shower in the main en suite did not have anywhere to put soap or body lotion and we feel it would be improved if a soap holder was provided. As we like reading we feel a standard lamp with a decent bulb would improve the quality of the light in the lounge evenings. Small points but you did ask!
