Betty’s Cottage

Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting and close to lots of fun things to do with the kids.

The cottage looks beautiful from the outside and is in a picture postcard pristine village. However, we were slightly disappointed on venturing past the front door. While the kitchen extension is stunning with beautiful garden views, the rest of the cottage was a little disappointing. It all looks far more plush in the photos. The upstairs bedrooms were particularly drab. We didnt feel it merited the premium price. The cottage has a septic tank and we found that the front living room stank of sewage the whole weekend. The wifi worked for about five minutes the first night but then was out of action for the rest of the weekend. This is fine if you are happy to be off grid but there is absolutely no mobile phone reception either. The instructions say that if there is a problem with it, call BT. Not very helpful if you are not the account holder. The other thing was that checkout is at 10am. At 9.50 as we were loading our cars the owner turned up and sat outside waiting in his car - he then rushed in as we left. We found this a bit passive aggressive and too much. We weren't late!

Hmm didn’t really feel that the cottage was cleaned very well for our arrival so had to set about cleaning when we arrived

Lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful area. Great open plan kitchen which flows into the garden, fab for families or group of friends. Very clean. All modern appliances. My only criticisms would be that the dishwasher was out of order so it wasnt really my idea of a break having to do the dishes every night but it wasnt the end of the world. And the next door neighbour who took it upon herself to come and lecture us about the bins being out (I can only guess the cleaner or previous guests left them out the day before we arrived), not really what I wanted first thing in the morning, there are obviously unwritten rules on bins being on display, anyway it wasnt the nicest welcome!

The cottage was very nice but being 6 foot 4 and some of us even taller the cottage was low.🙄 some headbumps further we all ducked on time.😁 At arrival the "landlord" was still cleaning and when we knocked on the door we could only hear him shouting "not ready yet...." And it feeled like he didn't want to see us. He very quickly showed us the cottage and said that the internet wasn't working properly and there is a phone number in the book and we should call that number if there was a problem with the wifi. When he left after 5-10 minutes he said "please don't call me, It's my holiday and It's an hour driving". Being with 2 teenage boys internet is quite important so we called bt to reset the internetpoint, witch worked for a day or 2. From wednesday we got a message from bt that the bill wasn't payed and the internet had been disconnected. That's the cons of that week, all others was very nice: kitchen is complete, beds are fine, showers are fine. Very quit village.

lovely cottage. Sun loungers would be a great addition. Garden beautiful. Viĺlage perfect . Great location just 1 mile to Buford. Very quiet off the beaten track, little through traffic. Cottage can be very warm upstairs due to the thatched roof. Street parking is not an issue as the road is quite wide.
