We had a wonderful stay at The Housekeepers Cottage. It truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived everything was presented so nicely, spotlessly clean, and smelled fresh and welcoming. The beds were comfortable, as was the sofa, and the thoughtful touches like bread, milk and coffee pods are lovely. You can tell a lot of effort and care is put into the upkeep of the property. Sophie gave very clear instructions before our arrival and was extremely responsive throughout our stay. We had a slight glitch with the boiler, but thanks to the Sophie’s quick replies it was resolved easily and without any hassle. Overall, a lovely, comfortable place to stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others and will definitely use one of Sophie’s Homes again.
