The Searle Reviews

Rebecca
Had a fantastic holiday the cottage was cosy , quirky and felt so homely we settled in straight away. The surrounding walks were beautiful especially up at Elan valley would recommend for a nice getaway would definitely book again next year
Having stayed at the Searle some 8 months ago,it seems a shame that little or no maintenance has been orchestrated at the property,the outside space is drab and uncared for with rendering and paint falling of the walls, as this has an enclosed garden not the best surroundings when occupying the hot tub,inside the general condition was more favourable,however unfortunately the dishwasher had broken,offer of repair was there,but we left the owner to fix prior to next occupancy,the bedroom curtains had visible staining in the lining,maybe some of the above is not being actioned due to the property being on the market with local agents Chancellors,and the continuance of the property in total for getaways in doubt? Taking all of this into consideration we again overall enjoyed our stay Thank you.
The inside of the property is well maintained, however, the outside is slightly run down and definitely needs attention, not the relaxing environment to take a hot tub. The kitchen was not well stocked with utensils, pans etc, just the very basics and some of the utensils were dirty and we had to wash them before using. The real downside to this property is the location. It is slightly set back from the very busy A road so you hear the traffic all day from very early in the morning. It is also right next door to a petrol station which is not mentioned in the description or in the directions received upon payment. Had we known this, we would not have booked.
The cottage was spotlessly clean, bed very comfortable. Kitchen was short on utensils, pots, pans and crockery. Hot tub was lovely, but outside space was tired and weedy. Rose arch so overgrown that it was difficult to exit. Area was beautiful for dogwalking.
Cleanliness was exceptional, sparkling. Hot tub amazing, will definitely be booking again. A very cozy and comfortable stay
