The house is very comfortable and is well-appointed.

Damson Cottage very well refurbished and equipped to a high standard. No issue with description or condition when we arrived. BUT there were some issues. No hand towel, no kitchen roll, no scouring/sponge pads for washing up in kitchen. No written instructions for the heating/thermostat, which proved difficult to operate. Not possible to fulfil the request to turn the thermostat down and RETAIN that lower temperature on the thermostat when leaving the property empty during the day. Although Services tried to help the outcome was stalemate. The instructions for using the fancy new oven were in French NOT in English. Had to go by guess work. The microwave proved another challenge when trying to simply cook a jacket potato. For two ladies in their seventies it was an impossible task. Too high tech. Both bedside lights in top bedroom were not working. The top bedroom was also quite cold on the three November mornings that we stayed. In the summer this would probably be ok. Over to you!

The house itself was nicely done out, but very dusty and dirty bathrooms. We asked for twin beds, which was described in the description and I asked for this to be confirmed on two occasions. The beds weren’t set up when we arrived and we were promised they’d be done the next day. They still weren’t. We were then promised that evening they’d be done, they still weren’t. I had to go out and buy bedding for my daughter so she had a bed to sleep in. Not acceptable when it was promised on arrival. It’s the main reason we booked the accommodation as we needed twin rooms. The neighbours dog was constantly barking also. Something to consider for people booking. Wouldn’t recommend host & stay and wouldn’t recommend a stay at Damson Cottage!

This was a very high standard of accommodation, which is very difficult to fault! I highly recommend it. The insurance fee, which was quite reasonable, was hidden. It should have been upfront. It is a little difficult to find the parking space and then the cottage.

A wonderful cottage with a lovely vibe. Everything was spotlessly clean. The cottage is cosy and well equipped, a great base for exploring the surrounding area, including the village, which is very pretty. Bear in mind you are required to put down a refundable breakage deposit or take out the host's insurance in order for the booking to be confirmed (details available on their website). Would definitely stay again.

Damson Cottage was just as advertised. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. Getting in to the cottage was easy and it looked amazing, even better than the website. We enjoyed a lovely weeks holiday ay Damson Cottage and the neighbours and locals were very friendly too. We would highly recommend the Host & Stays listing page.
