“This is a lovely cottage in a lovely location.”
The owner obviously has high standards and the property has been thoughtfully designed. We appreciated the very effective heating which meant the cottage was very cosy in February. However there were a few little things that slightly let it down, though they would not stop us from returning. The information about the drinking water was ambiguous. We are used to a private water supply, so would rather be presented with the facts rather than some information saying it’s ok to drink and others ...
The owner obviously has high standards and the property has been thoughtfully designed. We appreciated the very effective heating which meant the cottage was very cosy in February. However there were a few little things that slightly let it down, though they would not stop us from returning. The information about the drinking water was ambiguous. We are used to a private water supply, so would rather be presented with the facts rather than some information saying it’s ok to drink and others saying it’s not. The floors downstairs had only been superficially cleaned - there was still dog hair and other debris, and when wiping up a spill of water in the kitchen it became clear the floor needed a good clean. We couldn’t get the underfloor heating in the bathrooms to work despite following the instructions - we used the towel rails instead so we were not cold. There is a lightbulb out by the bed in the top floor double. The UV filter says it needs servicing. The sofas and beds were adequate but none of us found them especially comfortable - especially the pillows which were lumpy. Overall, I think it was good value for money, and we would return.
