Auckland Cottage Reviews

We all had a wonderful week at Auckland Cottage, notwithstanding the weather. Cottage is spacious and comfortable, and the owner was friendly, and accessible if you needed him. The swimming pool was a real bonus on the several rainy days. Really enjoyable trip.

We really enjoyed the facilities. Cottage felt a bit. Cramped for 5 adults and 3 children in the living room. Would book a bigger cottage for the facilities.

The house was lovely and clean and whilst basic it done the job. The shower nearly burnt skin off when someone flushed the toilet so please be aware of this especially if you have children using the shower! The pool was a great added bonus the kids loved it and the private hot tub was really clean and perfect for relaxing! Lovely location and the views were amazing! Would stay again and recommend to friends and family.

My familys stay in the cottage was great. It really did have everything needed. We all loved the swimming pool and sauna and used the hot tub a lot . Tony was very helpful and answered any questions we had. It was a lovely setting and away from the hustle and bustle of city life., although there were various towns not far away. I highly recommend to stay at this beautiful location. Oh and the snooker table was great too

Angelina

Loved our stay in Auckland cottage facility s were perfect hot tub and pool were ... Loved our stay in Auckland cottage facility s were perfect hot tub and pool were beautiful we will be booking again thank you again

Great location, had almost exclusive use of the pool which was lovely and unexpected with 3 young kids getting a few hours each morning. Spas were clean and kept at a toasty temp. Would return tomorrow if holidays allowed.

Me and my family had a lovely stay at this cottage for Christmas and would definitely recommend this cottage to friends.

We thought it would be more private, a couple of times we couldnt use the pool, which we werent aware about, not enough towels between 6 of us, 2 hand towels! Also we didnt think we would be sharing with micevoles that were living in the 2 seater sofa and lastly when we stripped the beds there were loads of holes in the duvets, apart from that we did enjoy the break away

The cottage was lovely . Comfortable , clean and well equipped. The pool and hot tub were brilliant and well used by the family. The area is absolutely beautiful. We loved all the walks and exploring different places. And waking up to the fantastic view from our cottage was a joy and something special. Sad to have to leave.

Jackie

We had a fantastic time. Definately would stay again, maybe in the summer. Only one downside for us was that there was only one shower.

We were unfortunate to visit the cottage at the time of a severe weather storm. The cottage was lovely unfortunately due to the power loss we had to stay in a cold cottage the hot tub was not accessible until the last day of the weekend due to the lack of power. I accept this was no fault of the owner but I do feel we did not get what we paid for. I would like to stress had there not been a power loss it would have been a lovely weekend

Just the best

Steven

This was a fantastic cottage and had the hot tub and swimming pool. Tony the owner was over to see us after we arrived and offered information on things to do and where to go. All in all we enjoyed our stay at Auckland cottage and we would definitely come back to stay another time. Thanks Tony for an enjoyable stay cation.

We loved our stay in the Auckland cottage. Fantastic views, friendly hosts and a clean comfy cottage to stay in. Pool hot tub and sauna was fantastic. Just wish we had a Hoover time Hoover you during our stay.

Jonathan

Amazing place to stay cant recommend enough Will certainly be going back all my family loved it!
