We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the great property.

We only had two issues during the weekend. The first one was the hot tub, which was one of the reasons we booked this place. Unfortunately it didn’t work as it should have. The jets weren’t working properly so it wasn’t a relaxing bubbly hot tub you would expect but more like a regular bath. We managed to use the hot tub on Saturday late afternoon after a long day out, so we couldn’t contact the property office about it as it was outside their weekend office hours. On Monday morning a hot tub maintenance company arrived to fix it which suggests to me that the issue was known. It would have been courteous to let us know about the hot tub problem beforehand. The second matter was the wi-fi. It worked intermittently, so if that can be improved it would make the experience even better.

Cleabarrow cottage is set in a stunning location, we even managed to see some fawns.

The house itself has everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. My family and I had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.
