“With regard to the cottage there were a few annoying things, not major but irritating.”
Primarily a lack of sink plug in the bathroom adjoining main bedroom which I occupied. There was no sink plug, necessitating me to fill a saucepan so that I could shave with wet razor every day. In the same bathroom I had an overflow from shower to floor because the drain hole had not been cleared and was clogged with hair which I had to clear. A minor iritation was lack of a soap dish anywhere so I had to lob the soap from shower to bowl after washing.
There was a problem with the Wi-Fi code which is riddled with 1s,lower case i'sand I's and spent several minutes unseccessfully trying to logon. In the end had to t/p the housekeeper and write down the exact code, spelling out each symbol. She cheerfully told me that a lot of people had had the same problem. I suggest the code be recorded in written way such I, capital, I, Small, 1 number.
There was a disappontment to find that the main hall where we went in the evening did not serve food until May and I may be wrong but I do not recall any advice on that score in the booking process. We had travelled a good while and were tired and hungry but had to drive off in strange surroundings to try to find an evening meal somewhere.
All of the above said it is a lovely property in a super area, especially for dog owners, and I would rebook next year, especially if the modest problems were sorted out.
