Guests say
Knowle Lodge is a well-received cottage with guests praising its comfort, cleanliness, and stunning location. The property offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful views and a secure garden, ideal for dogs. The cosy atmosphere and friendly owner add to the positive experience, although the approach road's condition is noted.
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and cosy. A few mentioned dust and cobwebs, possibly due to the open fire, but these comments were not prevalent enough to significantly impact the high cleanliness rating.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, stunning views, and proximity to walks and local attractions. However, the road leading to the property, described as having potholes, has been a concern for some guests, slightly affecting the score.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the cottage, particularly the comfortable bed and the warm, cosy atmosphere provided by features like the wood burner. The property's peacefulness contributes to the high comfort level experienced by visitors.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a few guests suggesting improvements in kitchen storage and maintenance issues like mould and flaking paint. Wi-Fi connectivity was also a concern for one guest. These points lead to a slightly lower score in this category.
While guests have mentioned a surprise bottle of bubbly for an anniversary, there are not enough references to gifts or special touches to accurately assess the thoughtfulness category. Therefore, this score is set to null.
