Fantastic festive stay

We had a brilliant stay at the old pump house in December, the Christmas tree and decorations made it feel very festive. The house was perfect, a big space and in a great remote location. It had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend!

A wonderful escape

The Old Pump House is a real gem - not too far from a local pub but hidden away in the forest. The building is wonderful and very well equipped. We were treated to the wonderful sight of bats in the evening swooping in over the pond and a short-eared owl visited a few times. The garden is lovely and ideal for dogs being totally enclosed.

October break.

The perfect setting to unwind and relax. The Old Pumphouse was very clean and comfortable.. Tracey the housekeeper got in touch to check that we had arrived and that there were no issues.There are woodland walks straight from the front door. Have already booked for next year.

Peace and quiet

If you love peace and quiet this cottage is perfect. In wooded surroundings and an enclosed garden so good for our dogs. Cottage very comfortable and spacious. Only the two of us plus dogs so we had lots of space. Huge trout pond and interesting birds visiting the feeders we put out. Lovely to see the bats. Hope to return next Spring, it's a lovely part of the country.

Lovely property with a homely feel

Lovely property with some nice features. Very quiet. Large enclosed garden which the dogs loved. Well equipped kitchen and the welcome pack was a nice touch. Whilst walkable, we drove to nearest pub to eat in the evening as very dark to walk in the country lanes (probably fine in the summer!). Only very minor things let the property down which could have easily been rectified hence the 4/5 (broken kitchen bin, tablet holder not closing in dishwasher, mould on bathroom blind, bedroom curtains not hanging/closing properly).

A lovely break in nature

We had a lovely break here for a honeymoon with our dogs. It was completely secluded and nestled in nature which is exactly what we were looking for. We go away several times a year with the dogs so if I am being picky there are a few areas that could be improved such as providing blankets to sit outside and personal touches would be nice. I mentioned it was our honeymoon so something as simple as a note to wish us a happy honeymoon would have been nice. Finally, paying extra for dogs to come with us although they are not allowed on the sofa or upstairs so a doggy welcome pack should be the minimum requirement in my experience such as a treat and towels. This would not stop us going back in the future but for the price I do believe these small things would make a big difference.

A secluded getaway

We booked very last minute so there was only 2 nights available for our dates but we wanted secluded, peace and quite, pretty scenery, a little bit of luxury and somewhere nice to walk. The Old Pump house gave us all of this. The drive up to the property through the forest was idyllic. The rooms were huge, all the beds and sofa were comfortable. The kitchen was large and had every utensil you could require. We had a long drive and managed to get in slightly earlier and the house keeper was quick in responding and very friendly. The biscuits on arrival were a nice touch. If I had to say a negative it was that the heating was on full heat when we arrived and was far too much and took a long time to get it down to a comfortable level, but underfloor heating was lovely! Being secluded you do need a car to get to any amenities but we knew that before arriving and wasn't a problem for us. We would definitely like to stay again.

High's and Low's of the Old Pump House

We were so very excited to stay at the Old Pump House. It did deliver in certain aspects but sadly not all. The windows were dirty, the downstairs hoover and washing machine both smelt. The dining chairs were like sitting on a stone and the mattresses were lumpy and very uncomfortable. In the property details it stated that it was an enclosed garden, yes for a large dog but there were areas such as the gates that a small dog could squeeze through. We had to buy some twine to wrap around the gaps to ensure the dogs stayed in the garden but it still wasn't that relaxing. On the positive side, the location and wildlife was stunning. There were some feeders in the garden that we filled with various food and we were rewarded with an array of birds such as Woodpeckers, Jays and the resident ducklings. If there had of been more comfort, cleanliness and an update of some of the soft furnishings upstairs it would have made it a more memorable and enjoyable stay.

Peace and quiet

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Old Pump House. We were looking for peace and quiet among the trees, and the house definitely provides plenty of that. Although we didn't see any of the famous wild boar, we think we heard them, and were treated to a mother and baby muntjac deer crossing over the track leading up to the house one evening, as well as regular sitings of the local buzzard. The house was clean and welcoming (apart from the infestation of flying ants in the lobby, which probably couldn't be helped!), the kitchen well equipped, and the living area huge and comfortable. The main challenge was the underfloor heating, which insisted on coming on, although we had picked the only decent week for sun of the summer thus far, and despite our attempts (and those of the housekeeper) to turn down the thermostat: the only option to avoid stifling temperatures was to keep the windows open, which is not the most environmentally friendly approach! We think the problem may have been due to the new smart thermostatic controls, so hope that this can be sorted soon. In other respects, we would thoroughly recommend both the house and its location for anyone seeking tranquility.

Relaxing isolation

We've stayed at the Old Pumphouse several times and still love it's location and character. A bit of TLC in a couple of places such as the decking and blown double glazing panes are now in order but didn't spoil our enjoyment and relaxation.

An excellent holiday in a beautiful location

The Old Pumphouse is very large and sleeps up to six people however there is only one bathroom.Having said that, the two larger rooms do have a wash basin and there is another toilet. The shower was draining very slowly when we arrived but a quick call to the housekeeper and she arranged for the plumber to come that day. There is a beautiful new patio to replace the slippery old decking and it made such a difference. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings and hope to book the same accommodation next year.

Nature, Peace, and Total Privacy in a Beautiful Woodland Setting

I had a truly peaceful solo retreat at the Old Pump House. Tucked away down a long woodland track, it felt a million miles from reality. The house was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything I needed. I felt completely safe and relaxed, surrounded by nature. Watching ducklings on the pond and trout in the crystal-clear water was magical. A perfect place to unwind, reset, and escape the noise of everyday life. Highly recommended.

A weekend in the forest

This is our second visit to the pump house. We loved it so much we had to come back. The house is delightful, spacious and perfect for a sociable weekend with friends or family. Lots of beautiful walls and places of interest close by. We hope to come again next year.

Stunning

The property exceeded my expectations, absolutely beautiful. We had everything that we needed and more. The pond with the trout was outstanding and very relaxing to watch. The Forest wraps itself around you and it is so peaceful. The only negative was the second bedroom! It’s quite small and has very small windows.
