Our second visit to these cottages. Lovely location, especially if you like walking. Four of us stayed in Chestnut Cottage which was a little basic but clean and very comfortable.Bedrooms a good size. Heating fine (if anything, too warm)and the swimming pool was superb... more

We have just returned from a week at Chestnut Cottage at Twitchell Farm. The location is fabulous for walking, the views stunning. Slight problem with the heating in the cottage, too cold to begin with then once the heating sorted it got too hot! We could adjust the... more

I am really sorry you had these problems I know we discussed the heating which just needed the thermostats turning up on each radiator, they had been turned down as it had been so warm. Maybe it was the flow valve at the other end of the radiator that needed adjusting sorry I would have sorted this if you had mentioned it. I can not get WiFi in any of the cottages as there is no other phone lines and the signal is too week as you know we live in a remote area and not in the village (which is the beauty of the location for a holiday cottage) The information packs are full of old and new information people like to leaf through it all. (So they tell me) The microwave is standard and I thought leaving the instructions in the cupboard above it would help more than anywhere else. The double bed is a standard size if it was smaller my double sheets would not fit they would be too long!! Yes I will have free view when it comes digital in this area in September but until then it is not possible really sorry. I hope my reply answers all the questions These customers left saying that they had really enjoyed their stay with us.

We have just stayed in one of the cottages on the Farm, we were made very welcome by the owner, Sarah was helpful but not intrusive. The pool was enjoyed by evereyone who used it, they commented on the funny taste, but reading about the different chemical used that explains... more

A fantastic week in a wonderful location with beautiful views and great hosts. So peaceful and very relaxing. Twitchill Farm is a perfect family holiday let with a secure garden, large tables inside and out, TV and DVD for those 'inevitable' moments and comfy good sized... more

We have just returned from a fantastic break at Twitchill Farm. It was wonderful to stay on a working farm. Trying to find somewhere which accommodated 6 adults and 4 under 3s at a reasonable price was a challenge and Twitchill filled the spot excellently. We loved the... more

I feel upset at this comment and feel I need to explain. I tried my best to resolve the swimming pool problem the pool was working but the heating was down slightly I closed it as I felt it would be too cold for people to use it. It had failed New Years Eve and I struggled to get a plumber out there and then we had outside temptures of minus 15 degrees and it had struggled to keep up. I explained this to them but they went off alarming at me. It was out of my hands. The children in the end did use the swimming pool at the cooler temperature most of there stay and I had asked them if it was ok and they said yes. By the second day of their stay the temperature was coming back up so I didn’t see the problem but it obviously was! As far as the heating it is included in the price and yes I did turn it down slightly as they were leaving all the doors and windows open. The electric heaters were put in, as it had been so cold just as an extra back up. They did not pay for there electric and I did not ask for any as a compensation for the swimming pool not up to scratch. I am really sorry that these customers did not enjoy their stay. The cottages are the same as they are usually sold separately.

We were lucky to find this cottage at short notice and I'm so glad we did. We were given a very warm welcome and loads of info on all the different walks in the area, the cottage was nicely done out and the scenery is fantastic - thankyou so much, we will definitely be coming back!

Really disappointed with our recent stay at these cottages. The downstairs accommodation was extremely cramped and grubby with many appliances not working correctly. The outdoor decking was a mess and the pool area was dirty and looked unfinished and the pool so... more

I am really sorry that you did not enjoy your holiday with us I have been running Twitchill Farm Cottages for 22 years now and this makes me very upset that you never said anything whilst you were here. I am very particular about the cleanliness of the cottages I have only recently had the decking put down so I would presume there were a few leaves on it. The cottage size is not large as they are only "cottages" but surfiffant for 8 people in each. The pool is not on clorine it is on baquacil so does not effect the eyes but yes tastes funny but you are not surpose to drink it!! It is cleaned on a regular basis as it has to be for safety reasons. I have in the last month had the cottages painted and new kitchens. If any electrical equipment was not working you should have told me and I could have replaced it straight away. As for the cats I have a few farm cats The lane is steep it takes 10 mins to walk down and 20 mins back up I can not alter that sorry. To end this I really hope that anyone reading this is not put off as it is a beautiful place and great walking country.

I really enjoyed my stay at Twitchill Farm Cottages, they gave me a very warm welcome and all the family really enjoyed the swimming pool and the walks.
The accommodation was fab and very clean I will definitely be visiting again and also recommend these cottages to others.

Accommodation was a bit shabby and a bit dirty, with noise from neighbouring visitors through the walls.
Fantastic location, on a busy and popular walkers route to Win Hill, but not a very welcoming reception from owners.
Charge for electricity made at end of week. Small, highly chlorinated pool available.

Management response from sarah, owner 28 Jul 2010

The cottages since this visit have been refurbished with new carpets and kitchens. The walls are very thick I had a group in last week with a musically instrument and no one heard any noise. The pool is not chlorine? Electric is meter read at a standard rate and is only for lights and small items so never very much it is just to detour customers leaving lights on etc, It is in all the literature before arrival. (No surprises) Not had a complaint before re my personality sorry if I seemed rude. It is in my interest to be pleasent to my customers not rude.
