The setting was just what we’d hoped it would be. Beautiful scenery, charming architecture. We felt we really had the experience we’d hoped for. We left a day early and I had hoped the 3 day minimum would be waived. You may want to consider the option of offering a discounted rate if the stay is shorter than 3 days. Otherwise, it was a lovely stay!

We enjoyed a few days at the start of January and the cottage and location didn’t disappoint. We were a party of six, myself my husband, our three boys (20,18 and 13) plus a partner and the property provided more than enough living and sleeping space with two bathrooms so everyone had space for privacy yet it was cozy enough to sit down and enjoy a film in the evening. We went down to the Swan Inn for a meal one night and there is a small supermarket in the service station nearby but that’s as much as we found by way of local amenities, although easy drives to bigger towns.
As stated in the guide we received, parking at the property was a bit tight - we managed ok with a Qashquai but just something to be aware of.
So i wouldn’t recommend arriving in a big car, bring some essentials shopping wise but other than that a stylish, comfortable property that won’t disappoint - the snow was a cherry on top of a great stay

The place was nice - 4/5, nice location and good appliances.
The negatives are almost all for Host & Stay - they provide almost no basic supplies e.g. bin bags, hand soap, dishwashing tablets, liquid, 4 rolls of toilet paper for 6 ppl 4 nights, oil, handtowels. The place was not very clean. There is no firewood, admittedly a grey area for being included, but no mention of this in the listing. An accurate listing would have saved issues.
The place was very cold and took a day of back and forth to resolve the heating and hot water, it is not an easy system. The one positive is that Host & Stay are responsive, if empty platitudes are your thing.
We checked in on Christmas Eve when few shops are open, so all in all it was a disappointing experience, especially when easily and cheaply resolved by having more basic supplies and an accurate listing. To add insult to injury we found a hidden key on checkout that opened a cupboard full of supplies. No mention of this from H&S in many msgs.
