    Sofa bed was uncomfortable and could do with a mattress topper or something.

    Very cosy, lovely garden to enjoy, very friendly hosts 😊

    The wifi was not that great and we struggled to get a phone signal but that was also a benefit as well.

    This is a really cute hideaway perfect for a short stay in a lovely location. It felt very private and was great for our dog. It was nice to have the deck chairs so we could sit outside.

    It was a bit smaller than expected. No joy trying to get a taxi when we wanted to get to the wedding reception so had to drive.

    Location was rural, sun was out, lovely. Nice area for dog o wander around safely.

    I can’t really fault it to be honest. The only thing I could think to mention is that the hot water ran out as I was having a shower in the morning BUT that could be completely my fault for not using the heater correctly, so I certainly wouldn’t let that put anyone off staying here.

    Very charming little place, perfect for a couple looking for a quick getaway. Loved the little kitchen, was perfect to cook a nice breakfast in the morning. The owners dogs came and joined us on the decking whilst we had breakfast which absolutely made our morning! Lovely surroundings, loads of great pubs with good food a short drive away. Cosy cabin vibes, with everything you need to have a lovely weekend away.

    I think for over a hundred pounds a night there could have been a better attempt at making it more comfortable. The lack of a relaxing seat was exacerbated by the folding chairs not matching the table height.. A sofa bed might be a better option. The 'kitchen' was appreciated but it was past its best and the crockery was eclectic. The buckled frying pan should be binned. The bathroom and shower although perfectly funcional was not a a very attractive space. This accommodation is a lovely idea but let down in the poor attention to detail.

    The location was great. Its a very novel place to stay.

    My husband myself and our two dogs had a lovely stay at the hideaway at Duffryn Cottages. The garden was truly beautiful and the hideaway spotlessly clean, packed with character and really cosy. Thank you.

    There was nothing I didnt like.

    The cabin was cute and although compact, it had everything we needed. The owners were lovely and the farm was lovely too. We had our dog with us and she had so much room to run around.

    a gate across the decking entrance would be helpful, so dogs could be allowed off-lead just outside the property. When sitting in(the pull-down) bed, there is no ‘headboard’ to lean against…just a gap!

    very compact accommodation with everything you need for a short break. Really welcoming owners who were extremely helpful.

    The only minor thing was lack of information on arrival regarding the hot water situation. Slightly smaller than expected and lack of storage, however this did not effect our stay and would definately come back and reccommend to family and friends

    Beautiful area and surroundings. The hut was incredible and the bed was really comfy. Really nice for a getaway with the other half. Rosie and Si were great and really accommodating Thank You 😊

    Couldnt seem to contact staff. Noone was around when we arrived despite texting the number given (we did eventually find a gentleman) we also as instructed, text and tried to call on departure but noone answered and we had to leave the cabin key in the door of the cabin and sort the return of our deposit when somone finally called.

    The location is beautiful, the cabin was bigger than i anticipated with a full sized shower. Log burner is a great addition but make sure to take your own wood and something to light it. Overall fab stay.
