May 2017

This is a fantastic location and we enjoyed our stay very much. We have been coming for 7 years and hope to visit again in 2018. Nick (the caretaker) is very helpful though we would all be happier if we didn't have to call on his services - this year something broke in the interior of the cistern of the WC in the upstairs bathroom and for the remainder of the holiday the flush had to be operated with a screwdriver. At least we could still use it!

July 2013

House is lovely, we would definitely go again however it definitely needs updating. The bathrooms are a little tired as is the carpet throughout the house. This certainly didn't ruin our holiday though, we had the most wonderful time and want to book for next year!

June 2013

Would much prefer bed linen to be included. Having to sort the linen for 8 bedrooms was a pain in the neck. (Trying to read this green print is quite hard - please use black). I was also surprised that bin liners were not provided. As they cost so little, it seems an unnecessary meanness, whilst having to buy them on a bank holiday was inconvenient.

April 2013

We were a little worrried about the smoking being allowed - but alas the cottage didnt smell of smoke at all - so this was a great relief. the location and set up of the cottage was fantastic for our family get together - better than expected - The only thing that really bothered me was laundry/ linens - as in bring your own sheets - as you can imagine coming from the states with luggage weight restrictions - you cant plan to bring your own linens - just not realistic - the cost of rental were a high - I could buy and throw away a moderately good set of sheets for less. Other cottages included linens so I will look at them before this cottage - which is a shame as we loved the property - I think an option should be put in place ie higher price to include linens to give you an idea the cost of linens was equivelant to 1 weeks car rental - I think you can understand where our budget drove us. ( My sister bought all her sheets down to accommodate the linens issue) We own a number of proprties to rent - lease and include. linens etc . So this was a new experience - I know at the time of booking we were made aware of this- however I do believe the owners of the property should have this hightlighted as they do I am sure loose busniess, and potentially repeat business - which is what we all want. Overall our experience with Toad Hall cottages was fantastic - we did talk to some of the company representatives(Toad Hall) during booking and they were fantastic - all of them. We will use you again next year. I will also book earlier to ensure we get a cottage we would like - with linens ( sorry to harp on!). Thorpe Arnold Major was a great cottage - we thought it was set up perfectly for us and the open space downstairs with the fireplace - dinning table being able to sit both families at was great - overall a fantastic cottage . Please get them to sort out the linens and add into the price - we potentailly would book both cottages for 2 weeks next year

Customer Feefo Reviews

Have booked before with Toad Hall what you see on line is what you pay. Very straight forward to book, lovely staff, will always use them in the future.

The booking was made quickly and with their usual professional manner, difficult to see how it can be improved

The internet booking system is superb, it is very user friendly and efficient.
