De Courceys Manor Suites & Cottages

All good - very quiet and clean. Just a minor thing - there is no one around to ask anything, so I would bring extra milk! There was a number to ring, but that wasn’t an emergency!

Easy check in great location

Lovely and clean A lovely venue as well

The cottage was very clean throughout. Check-in was entirely online, as the cottages are self-contained from the main building. I think I was the only person staying during my visit, making it blissfully quiet. There are no dining facilities on-site, so you will need to drive to the recommended local places to eat. I didn't actually try any of them, as I was using the cottage as a base to visit family. I will definitely look to book here again next time I am in the area."

This is a very smart and well put together offering, away from the main house with it's own entrance and parking directly outside the door - perfect for when you arrive in torrential rain like we did - make sure you look out for the specific signs for the cottages. The self check in really helped when a problem with our car meant we were unlikely to arrive late into the evening, and the staff were very quick to respond when I messaged about arriving late with all the details I needed. However, I would love to give it 5* based on all of this, but the reality is I had the worse night's sleep I have had in a long time! The pillows are very deep and very firm, my husband sleeps with a firm pillow and even he thought they were too much and we had to get rid altogether. Then there is a bright green light directly above the door which spreads quite wide, and they also have a decorative window in the door which lets a lot of light in from outside - so bring an eye mask if you've already booked! Lots of tea bags but only standard black tea which I haven't seen for a long time, so I didn't have any as I only drink herbal or green. All in all this is a lovely place on the surface but in reality it didn't result in a good night's sleep before a long working day so we won't be returning.
