WE had a lovely stay at your cottage.

Great little location. The one issue we had of course was when we checked in no one had informed us that the oven and stove were both broken! After shopping for a full meal for us and family that evening, we spent about 3 hours trying to fix the stove and contact the owners. When we did get a hold of them, they were very nice and helpful and brought us a toaster oven/camp stove, but at this point it was too late for our one homecooked meal in 2 weeks. They offered to pay for pizza (which we ordered from pizza hut - no one was excited for that but everyone was starving at this point). They did repay us for the pizza. However, I would have expected quite a much larger discount for the total inconvenience and delay and stress this caused us. When paying $600/night you expect a stove. And the reimbursement for the pizza was not the level of compensation I was expecting given the inconvenience caused. Owner and boyfriend were very nice, but I truly believe we should have been offered a signicicantly larger discount to offset the terrible arrival we had.

We loved the house and especially being in Fittie.

Coming in from the cold to the cosy kitchen was lovely. We had some minor problems, the fridge froze lots of our vegetables till we reset the temperature, the heating didn't work till my husband fixed it and the general waste bin hadn't been emptied for a while and we couldn't put any more rubbish in it. A neighbour told us we couldn't put it out when we were there, as it was only collected fortnightly. The cleaners told us it was an ongoing problem. It was also a shame the little garden was so neglected. It must have been very pretty once. However none of these things spoiled a very special week.
