Fantastic cottage in a beautiful village
A lovely cottage, beautifully furnished, well equipped, and extremely comfortable.
The cottage was beautiful and would recommend it to friends but it is missing the 5 star as there were one or two niggles. The shower in the bedroom without the bath definitely needs to be a power shower. There were no soaps etc supplied and the host say that most people prefer their own but they still should be provided. The kitchen is perfect apart from there is no microwave, kitchen roll, tin opener or scissors (very useful for cutting the rind off bacon when making a full English breakfast for my friends). Also the food that was left complementary for our arrival was not to the usual standard. It should always be artisan bread not just o loaf from a supermarket. Other than that perfect.
FROM THE OWNER ~ We are so pleased that you would recommend our lovely cottage to your friends and can I apologies for the couple of niggles. You are correct and we prefer not to supply single use plastic bottles of shampoo and hair condition in the bathrooms and instead add extra goodies to the welcome hamper which includes amongst other things, good quality French wine, artisan tea and coffee, and apple juice made from the village orchards. However, as the freshly baked bread is purchased from the village shop on the day of arrival, it is quite possible that they might have run out of their artisan bread and therefore a quality sliced brown bread would have been offered in its place. I apologies if you felt this was below standard, but I hope you will agree that all of the other goodie were of a high standard. There is an extensive range of kitchen utensils in the long draw in the saucepan cupboard opposite the range cooker. In there you would have found, scissors, can openers, a nutcracker, a plentiful supply of sharp kitchen knives, wood spoons, and all manner of other useful kitchen bits and bobs. I sorry if you didn’t see this drawer in the cupboard. However, it does sound as though you enjoyed your stay and I hope you will return again.
Gorgeous cottage, spacious, beautifully decorated with well equipped kitchen, lovely garden and seating area. The welcome pack was a very nice touch. Ideally located in a quiet village, perfect for us with our family and dog. Lovely walks right from the front door, walking distance to a decent pub. Would highly recommend staying here to anyone, it’s wonderful.
We are so pleased that you thought Wisteria Cottage was wonderful. It is indeed a very special 18th century thatched cottage.
The whole cottage inside and out displayed the high standard expected of a Rural Retreat accommodation. Modern fittings in the kitchen and bathrooms complemented the tasteful furnishings through out the cottage. Good welcome guide, although we did have a hunt for the on switch for the heated towel rail in bedroom 1 . Kitchen was very well equipped but maybe room for a microwave? The village of Urchfont was a delight being well served by a community shop, post office and the lamb pub not forgetting the duckpond. In all we consider the whole experience of our stay at the cottage to match a five star rating
Beautiful and idyllic cottage in peaceful surroundings with walking from the doorstep on country paths. Very well fitted out.
Beautiful cottage, immaculately presented but in a way that still felt very cosy and welcoming. The welcome hamper was particularly impressive.
Old world charm with modern comforts. Nothing to criticise here - comfortable furnishings with nice homely touches and modern bathrooms & kitchen. Urchfont is the quintessential english village, with duck pond, winding lanes, thatched houses and working farms. Plenty of local walks and a super farm shop. Ideal base for a holiday with plenty to visit nearby, and a quiet retreat too.
A superb period cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as we used the cottage as a base to explore the area.
