All our reviews are independently handled via Feefo, that means each review is a 100% verified customer visiting Stumpy Corner.
We loved the peaceful, quiet location and the space inside the house especially the wrap around conservatory.The cottage/house is however past it's best and some parts were in need of replacement or repair, particularly the outdoor seating, upper patio and fences and balustrades to the lower patio area. Although we were aware that there was no freezer before we went this really is a major missing item when the location of the house is considered - it really is well off the beaten track!There were basic cookery items missing - potato peeler, measuring jug, scales, without which cooking was more difficult. When we phoned about these items the measuring jug was provided, a julienne cutter was bought (not really too useful) but no scales!The heating system had also been left on and with lovely warm weather we did our utmost to understand the instructions to turn this off but as some of the thermostatic valves were not working this proved annoying.

Thank you for your review and feedback which has been sent to the owner, we will be in touch with you directly.
If you've ever visited a holiday cottage before, you most likely have seen a guestbook in the property for guests to leave a review for others when they arrive. Each of the following comments was lovingly left by people just like you in the guestbook left at Stumpy Corner.
Thank you for a lovely clean house. We have had a lovely week. Thank you.
Thank you for allowing a Short Break in the wonderful 'Stumpy Corner'. What a fabulously comfortable house with awe-inspiring views, so therapeutic, as we were saying a very sad goodbye to my husband's mother, Margie Thomas of Neyland. The peacefulness and wonder of nature helped us greatly. We will definitely return for a week. Very many thanks again.
