It was unbelievable, an amazing cottage, and so spacious. The bedroom was huge, the bed was huge and so peaceful. The living room/kitchen had everything you'd need. The tv was smart,so I could connect to some home comfort viewing. The kitchen is stocked with tea/coffee and milk. The bathroom opulent, huge bath and fantastic shower. The hot tub, just wow, I spent hours out there enjoying the glorious sunrise. We will definitely be back. We haven't relaxed in a place like this for sometime, highly recommend a visit.

It was perfect.

The bed was so comfortable Loved the little touches (coffee pods, robes, blankets, bubble bath) felt very homey. Our best night away and we have stayed in few. Bath and shower was stunning Thank you!

Couldn't fault at all the only comment I would make would be with the decking being green due to weather & trees at the hot tub if a rubber mat was available to walk out of hot tub to path or hooks to hang towels up when getting out But other than that we had amazing stay cleanliness was 10/10!

The bed and hot tub were lovely. The bathtub was amazing.

Our only criticism would be that there seemed to be no available fans to use in the cottage during the heatwave. More towels/towel robes for the hot tub would be fabulous. Also, another suggestion may be an optional add-on of a welcome basket for basic item's such as butter and maybe some breakfast items such as eggs and bacon.

What didn't we like! From the squirrel knocker, to.the.open shower, the hot tub, the bed and even a little glass of milk in the fridge. The toilet roll was scented. Just every little.detail was thought off! My partner proposed to me at this venue so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Absolutely nothing

This was our second time staying at squirrel cottage we loved it so much the first time we had to go back. It’s cosy and heats up fast. It was raining when we went but we just held the umbrella over the hot tub and still got in until the rain stopped. The cottage itself is very spacious and has been spotless both times we went, there’s also a booklets of restaurants and takeaways nearby and a bit about the cottage in it. We especially love the photo album of the construction of the cottage!

Nothing.

Loved the hot tub unfortunately due to rain didn't get to use it as much as we wanted I suggest a cover to be erected to help guests use hot tub more. A large outdoor umbrella would even work. The hot tub area was very private and I know our weather can be hit and miss and not the owners fault but I think if we had a cover we would have enjoyed the hit tub more. We loved the cottage as a whole great bathroom and bedroom plus massive TV wished we had booked it for another night.

We didn't like that the hot tub was not covered to enable us to use it in all weather conditions as our stay we had alot of rain which is not the owners fault but feel a covered area or large outdoor umbrella provided for guests would have helped.
