The scents in the rooms were to strong. But that might just be us

An extremely cosy, delightful cottage for a peaceful Xmas break. A very generous welcome hamper was much appreciated, as was the woodburning stove! Cottage located very near the main square in Middleton, with handy shops for provisions. Accessible by public transport too. Lovely local walks direct from the cottage. Would happily return!

Beautifully refurbished cottage with all the necessary facilities! Ideal for a cosy romantic break. Well located in the pretty village of Middleton.

The only (very minor) downside is the parking - you need to park on the main road or a side road opposite which is about 2 mins walk from the cottage. It's not difficult to find a space but it is a bit of a trek with your bags if you are staying a few days.

Perfect base for walks in the area. Two very good public houses with restaurants in the village, the French owned one is excellent.

Difficulty in parking outside the property. It is possible and I did manage it but its very tight. This should be highlighted more prominently in the facilities for Hush Cottage. We booked on the strength parking was available but only found out afterwards it is recommended you park on the main road, a short distance away and not in sight of the cottage.

Clean, warm, and generally well-equipped. Helpful instructions (but please add info on where to play DVDs under the TV heading). Good range of local information available to borrow in the house. Friendly and helpful initial contact from owner. Nice village and lovely area.

These are all only small issues. The heating came on at the wrong times for us. Mattress too soft for our taste. We banged our heads in the under-stairs "kitchen" more than once. Plenty of huge cups but no small ones - so not great for coffee drinker. No tea strainer and more importantly no tea cosy - we like the second cup of tea to still be hot! No explanation of DVD player - we finally found it when tidying to leave so didn't get to watch planned film. Parking at the house is tricky (we were warned) but do-able. Alternative (on main road) felt scary - "don't park here" messages in windows of properties alongside. Welcome basket was full of all the things we try to avoid - we would rather have not had it and paid slightly less, or at least have had something more healthy in it. As we said - all minor issues.

Super comfy bed. Brilliant location hosts very friendly and helpful. Lovely town/ location. Brilliant weather!

The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well presented however we found the ground floor a little small

Excellent location for our walking outings and plenty of informative information in the cottage. Locals all very friendly and plenty of places to eat if you didn"t want to cook after a long day walking. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need from washing-up liquid, tea-towels etc to plenty of logs for the log burner. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise.

The down side is that if you have a large car the cottage is difficult to get to, nowhere to turn round. We parked across the main road in a nearby cul-de-sac.
