“ Beautiful” Arrived early so parked opposite the cottage and took the dog for a walk around the river/orchard area. Plenty of parking spaces. Cottage looked amazing from outside and upon entering we were not disappointed. Very clean and spacious. Clutter free. Tea, coffee and milk available. We brought a few logs from home so had the fire going straight away plus the heating on. It was very cosy. Comfortable bed/plenty hot water for a bath. Really nice location. It’s a shame the pub is not dog friendly but that didn’t spoil the holiday as we took our own food/alcohol. We will be back. Thank you x

Beautifully presented. Very clean. Had everything we needed - towels, bedding, tea, coffee, washing up liquid, tea towel and dish cloth, etc, all thoughtfully provided. Comfy beds, lots of hot water, and good water pressure. I grew up in Ovingham, so I may be biased, but it really is the most beautiful spot overlooking the village green. Excellent communication from the host. Would 100% recommend. Nothing

Lovely little cottage, cosy and making excellent use of the space. Spotlessly clean. Is a managed property by Host and Stay so a few extra hoops to jump through regarding deposit and insurance but good value overall.

We loved our stay at the Snoozy Goose-exceptionally clean, very comfy beds and a fantastic location. Beautiful views across the green. We loved walking our dog through the community orchard and along the river. A very friendly village with a lovely, welcoming village store.

Really nicely setup little house. Check out time of 10am is a little too early.

Property had been very tastefully renovated,with every facility clients could ever need. I could not fault the cleanliness on takeover. The outside patio area was very pleasant to sit out on and it enjoyed quite a bit of the day sunshine My only slight concern was the steepness of the stairs up to the upper floor and the narrow depth of the treads. However there is a dado rail for gripping on to, to counter this.

Property was in a good location for what we needed. Pleasant outlook and nice area. Comfortable beds. Found dirty clothes in one of the drawers. Piles of dust under the bed. Extra admin charges to get the extortionate deposit returned. Not clear on booking and host would not return this despite pointing out how unclear the charges were.

This cottage is well appointed. Our stay was spoiled by attitude of host company who scammed us out of further money once the Airbnb fee was paid. On calling them they were unhelpful and not able to provide a reason for the extra fee. We paid a top rate already to Airbnb and were not informed there would be other hidden charges. There was no choice but to pay. Other renters be warned. We feel any extra charges should be clearly listed in Airbnb’s costs We feel this is sharp practice and unnecessary

Fabulous location. Quiet area and amazing doggie walks on doorstep. Immaculate property and beautiful furnishings. Maybe a table lamp in the sitting room for ambience but that’s a minor thing. And maybe a large doggie mat as you come in for paws!
