We had a wonderful stay as a family of ten, the swimming pool facilities were great as well as the games room. This is the fourth time we have been and am sure we will be back again in the near future!

We had the most wonderful time celebrating my daughter's birthday here. The cottage was a perfect base and the pool and games facilities went down a treat. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. So much space for everyone to be together and also be able to to their own thing. Be aware the pool and game room is on a time table. So yRead moreou do not have acces at all times but the acces is private for your slot. The one negative to be aware of is the water is not great. Odd smell and colour, I believe this is an issue of the area and not the accommodation though and they were so kind to provide us with large bottles of water as no one fancied drinking it! I would bring extra bottles. Was not easy to find! But once we did we had a great time. Would fully recommend this place to anyone. And will probably return! Hide

We had such a lovely trip away at the cuckoos nest. It was well equipped with everything we needed, clean and spacious. The games room and swimming pool made the stay especially with a variety of age groups within the family. Would stay again and recommend others booking this great cottage in a great rural location!

If you want a quiet place to relax with family and friends you could do no better than Cuckoos Nest. Whilst not luxurious it is clean and comfortable and has everything you need and more. The surroundings are idyllic and plenty to do in the surrounding area. The pool and games room are fantastic and well maintained. Points to note - remember Read moreto take salt and pepper and toilet roll . The water tastes and smells different ( sulphur) so we opted to use bottled water. But it is perfectly safe to use / drink and it was just our preference . Hide

Great place for our Family to celebrate our sons 40th Birthday, we came well equipped to cook for ourselves for the week as it is a good way from a shop, However the swimming pool & Games room were fab for us All, With timed slots which worked really well, for sharing with the other cottages. Very spacious accommodation that was well equipped. ButRead more bring own loo roll as we nearly ran out as didnt realise we needed to provide our own. Never had to do this in other cottages we have stayed at, but understand & we sorted it but had to travel quite a way to a shop. The outside space was lovely too, including the football field. We were not bored at all . The bathrooms are a little dated but it is all very clean on the whole. We found the beds were not that comfortable but realise that is sometimes personal preference. The water had a strange smell so take some bottled water. we would however stay again as it was Great for our needs. Hide

Although we ended up having a lovely time I think the cottages were over priced. One good thing was the cottages were lovely and warm and we were in control of the heating. The cottages were spacious enough to cater for 10 of us and a dog.

Good value, rooms were small but functional. Dated but clean and well kept. Games rooms inculding pool, table football, table tennis, snooker and darts was a very good addition. Its shared with 3 cottages on 2 hour slots. We got full use as 1 cottage seemed to not be booked.

The pool and games room are a fabulous addition to the property and a real bonus. The property was a little disappointing with a rather unloved feel. Nevertheless, the property is clean and the beds particularly comfy. The location is lovely and quiet although not recommended for walks from the door.
