Really enjoyed our stay. It’s a very remote stay but that was perfect for us. Nothing negative to say.

Cote is a lovely, but very basic, barn conversion among a group of others. Great location, parking on site but not next to the property, quiet and comfortable. It is let down by a few things that have been reported back to Host & Stay. If you are used to a few treats or home from home when staying in properties this is not the place, but if you are after a comfortable basic base then it is great.

Lovely cabin with plenty of parking. Very clean and comfortable. WiFi was a little slow and there’s no mobile data but other than that it was ideal.

Conforme aux photos. <br/>Lieu calme et reposant. <br/>Bémol, les rideaux laissent passer la lumière et les bruits de rongeurs dans les murs peuvent être dérangeant.<br/>Attention, vous devrez payer une caution pour l'assurance. Avec des frais non remboursables

Beautiful apartment, great scenery all round and a nice quiet location.<br/><br/>Huge hidden insurance charge (£250 up front on arrival and 2 full weeks to get it back minus £10 admin or £25 fee non refundable) not shown on description anywhere. We were given a fake code to the key box via email and after a 2 hour drive to get there, we rang "host and stay" and they text a link to pay them extra money. We had very little signal to do this and not enough money on the original credit card to pay them their extortionate demands. Took over an hour to complete while the kids were desperate for the toilet. When we finally got in, the boiler did not work for heating or water. Host and stay did not answer the phone to help but the onsite farmer was really helpful and luckilly knew someone else to call. He was a god send. The accomodation was great but will avoid host and stay at all costs with underhand tactics they use to squeeze money out of customers.

The house itself is nice and the location is beautiful. Unfortunately it wasn’t cleaned that well for when I arrived. Dust and dead bugs on the windowsills. And then stained bedding as well. They did arrange a cleaner to change the bedding, however the clean bedding was just left on the kitchen table.
