Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

The Good, The Bad & The Magnificent
We arrived as the sun set after a long journey to a really uncomfortably cold and dank little cabin but were greeted by very friendly hosts. Peter helped with our luggage and worked hard to get the tiny Queen Anne stove going, which really didn't give off enough heat at all to ease the bitter chills at night. There is no heater in the little lounge, so the Queen Anne is all you have to depend on for warmth, which really is not enough. There are blankets to cuddle under though. The bedroom thankfully had 2 wall heaters and an electric blanket on the King Size, somewhat creaky bed, which was really the best place to be. There was complimentary sherry to warm the cockles of the soul but we were sadly disappointed in the little cabin. It does not have much character although it does have potential. Its just really drab and depressing and the dank, musty smell never quite left the space in the 3 days we were there. It does however have a little wooden deck over looking a gorgeous, very unmanicured garden with magnificent trees which looked like they had been painted, the leaves were so colourful and glorious. We loved exploring the garden. The Cottage option at Maple Grove definitely looks like a better option.

Dear Ruth, Thank you for your constructive criticism. We are so very sorry that the Cabin did not meet your expectations, as we pride ourselves in keeping our cottages in tip-top condition, as you will see from our numerous reviews in the past. As this is our first negative review, we would like to respond as follows: The Cabin is not damp at all and the smell that you are talking about was the smell of old paint which was used to paint the beams, the week before your arrival. We were hoping that the smell had subsided prior to your arrival, and we apologize for the inconvenience. You will be happy to note that we took your comments seriously, and we now have another wall heater in the lounge area. As for the "creaky" bed, we are loath to replace this as it is an antique but we are happy that you were comfortable there with the wall heaters on, and the pile of warm blankets. It is very difficult to keep a "manicured" garden in Hogsback during Autumn, and it is great to know that you appreciated the awesome colours of the Maple Trees at Maple Grove. We hope that you will visit us again one day, and that you will go away feeling happy that you chose Maple Grove as your preferred place to stay. Keep well and kind regards, Lyndsay and Peter
