“This was our second visit to Rose Villa - we were so impressed the first time, we decided to return.”
Everything was as before and we were generally very impressed with the location, facilities and accommodation.
The comments below are not complaints, simply feed forward comments really:
The court yard garden would have benefited from a good tidy up - the weeds were beginning to get out of control but this didn't impact on the quality of our stay - simply a cosmetic point and easily rectified.
Also, although we appreciate the park below the cottage is council owned, it was very untidy and made us feel rather sad that it had been neglected since our previous visit.
It would have been useful to have access to spare bedding and towels - we do of course appreciate there are laundry facilities at the cottage but to be honest, when on holiday, I don't really want to spend my time doing laundry.
It would have also have been useful to have a small selection of pillows - the pillows were rather soft for my taste but I appreciate that's a subjective comment.
We would have liked a summer weight duvet - it was rather hot during our week and bearing in mind it's not our property, we did not feel comfortable leaving windows/balcony doors open at night.
The bathroom door in the en suite is difficult to close as the door has dropped and the toilet seat in the en suite was broken on our arrival. We did report the issue by email but did not get a response.
The above are all very minor gripes, easily rectified but for us, would definitely improve the quality of our stay.
In short, we all had a wonderful week and were rather sad to leave - Rose Villa is definitely a home from home for us and we shall definitely return in time. If it was up for sale and we could afford it, we would definitely move in permanently!
