“Upstairs in the cottage was lovely, though downstairs the living room was very small, photos on website do not show the dining table also in the lounge, and a large un-needed coffee table taking up all the room!”
!! No drainer to dry pots on if you wanted to handwash. Plus side, lovely garden, outside tap, Badge Inn across the road was lovely, and great train access to St Ives.
Cleanliness - sofas were covered in dog hairs, and absolutely stank of wet dog. I hoovered them after we arrived and left the rugs covering them in the corner all week which made it a bit better. Leaflets in the basket were years old, the window in the kitchen was so dirty on the inside you could right your name in it, Whilst checking around when we were leaving, under the sofa was also full of 'tumbleweed doghairs', and 3 draws upstairs were full of someone else's clothes from a previous visitor!!! Not great housekeeping standards, I appreciate it was dog friendly, but not everyone has dogs and surely it should be cleaned properly and deeply after customers!! Its not difficult to hoover under a sofa as opposed to round it. Would not recommend the cottage because of this, and we noticed there are other comments in the visitor book regarding same issues.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. The owners apologize for the poor service you received. They have changed our cleaning company and are now generally receiving maximum marks for cleanliness. We have also provided a dish drainer in case a guest requires one.
