Guests say

The Cross Wing at High Ash Farm is a cosy and well-equipped cottage, appreciated for its character, comfort, and thoughtful touches. Guests enjoy the peaceful setting, quirky features, and the well-thought-out garden. While some mention proximity to a busy road and occasional maintenance issues, the responsive management and overall charm outweigh these concerns.

The cottage generally receives high praise for cleanliness, with guests finding it 'super clean'. However, there were isolated incidents of flies and an untraceable odour in the kitchen, which suggests room for improvement.

The location is well-regarded for its quietness and proximity to the countryside and coast. However, some guests noted the nearby busy road and difficulty in finding the property due to poor signage, which slightly detracts from the overall experience.

The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with a particularly well-received bathroom. However, taller guests have mentioned issues with low ceilings and door frames, and concerns were raised about steep, uneven stairs.

Facilities are generally very good, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings. However, the lack of a washing machine, broom, and the presence of flies affected the score. Maintenance appears responsive to issues.

Guests have expressed appreciation for the thoughtful details, including a welcome hamper and other amenities. It is important to note that such gifts, while delightful, are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of thoughtful detail that the hosts have gone into to make their guests' stay comfortable, including a welcome hamper pack with wine, earplugs, candles. The place was super clean. The towels were soft and the bed very comfortable. It was great to be able to adjust the heating level at any time and we felt cosy and warm (and didn't even get round to lighting the fire in the fireplace). The bathtab was superb. It was a stormy weekend so we didn't venture out to as many places we had hoped but Alderburgh was a real delight to walk through in the afternoon - very christmassy with lots of pretty little gift shops and cafes. The only negative comment about the property would be the cluster flies that must've been coming through the cracks but just a nuisance, not a big deal. Would definitely stay here again.

    We had concerns before we arrived because we wanted to cook a full dinner with all the trimmings so I decided to take pots, pans & roasting trays just incase but there really was no need - the cottage has everything & more for cooking & lovely serving platters etc so I was really pleased. We loved that it was so quiet & we weren't bothered by the road noise. I miss the shower already & infact the whole bathroom!! The temperature was always perfect & easy to alter. There was a gorgeous welcome gift for us, lovely biscuits. All in all a really pleasant stay for us & we'd love to go back to try out some of the walks. It was sadly too foggy to enjoy the views & venture out. My partner is 6'4 & yes he banged his head once or twice but the stairs nor the low ceilings put us off at all.

    It is very cosy, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom beautiful. Unfortunately we struggled with the height of the ceiling in the living room. My husband is 6 foot 2 and could not stand up straight. I also hit my head on the low door frame. Also the stairs are very dangerous. They are steep (as mentioned in the description) but also uneven and painted white; making it difficult to see clearly. We also couldn’t relax as the garden is not enclosed and we were worried about our dogs getting onto the main road. However the cottage is beautiful and I would certainly recommend it to shorter people with less adventurous dogs.
