“This holiday cottage is very beautiful on the outside and inside, however there are several issues, 1.”
Road noise, although it’s a village location, it appears a rat run for lots of cars, even though there are speed bumps and road narrowing outside the cottage causing cars to stop and speed through the gap. 2. I know the cottage stated pets welcome, however the cottage smelt heavily of wet dog even though it was cleaned, the smell continued for our 2 week holiday, the smell did fade however once the carpet was hoovered the smell came back again with vigour. We had to buy febreze for dog odour and smelly candles and air fresheners. Finally the garden is raised and when I went up to explore I was confronted with dog mess, not cleaned by the previous occupants or cleaner/gardener, fair to say we didn’t go up again and I had to clean up other people’s dog mess. Not a good example of a skyes 4 star property.
I am sorry that you had a bad experience at Easterly Cottage.
It is very hard to control how people care for our cottage during their
stay with dogs. I believe the week before you stayed was a very wet
week and therefore it is inevitable that any dogs would be wet. In
these difficult times, our cleaners are concentrating on ensuring the
cottage is cleaned and sanitised because of Covid so it is hard for them
to wash carpets within the window of time they have before you arrive.
With regard to the dog mess, again this is down to the previous
occupant. My gardener comes in during the week and therefore he would
not off seen this.
With regard to the road, I show the cottage in my pictures as on the
road, and like most Cornish villages at this time of year it can become
busy, which is why we had hand made shutters fitted in the bedroom to
avoid possible disruption.
