The Cottage and The Studio

Hi I have left this feedback for a couple of weeks to put together a listing: 1.

No heating in the studio for many days and many visits by maintenance and plumber. The boiler needs replacing as you cannot control the heat once you have got it. It seems the boiler has not been maintained. 2. Beds in Studio and upstairs double bed extremely uncomfortable in fact the one in the Studio is not fit for purpose, too low and hard and dangerous as too large for the room. 3. No rails in shower in studio or slip mat very dangerous!! 4. The glass around the studio should have markings in case someone walks into it. Health and Safety!!!! 5. Cutlery in the Cottage is dangerous one of the spoons broke and nearly cut the users hand. 6. Its not pet friendly but could be........ The garden is not dog friendly but it could be made so very easily. 7. I spent three days in The Great South Western Hospital, Swindon with my Mum who had a stroke on Boxing Day evening their 65th Wedding Anniversary. She got so wound up..... with everything. I am so grateful to the quick response by Paramedics and the Stroke Team at the Hospital. 8. Also it could have been left a little cleaner bit dirty, glasses left in dishwasher and the bathroom had a lot of items after maintenance left by the bath. If you need photo evidence we have it all. 9. I would like to pass on my thanks to Helen (Manor Cottages), The maintenance guy I think his name is Stuart and also the Plumber Lewis at one time who helped us so much. 10. The window in the bunk beds room you cannot open. Not very Health and Safety. 11. On the other hand with a few alterations it could be made such a lovely property. Thank you and God Bless You.

The property is in need of some decoration and improvements to make it comfortable and a more pleasant experience.

There are a number of issues that need to be addressed. COTTAGE Bed very uncomfortable and needs replacing Seating in the cottage very uncomfortable STUDIO Heated floors not functioning properly There’s a lot of dead wood lice throughout the property. Cooking facilities insufficient Extractor fan in shower not working Light over sink not working Would be useful if there was a bedside lamp Outside door won’t catch and has to be locked to stay shut The property is in a great location and village has excellent facilities.

Overall we enjoyed our holiday.

The space is great, and the two properties worked really well for our family. And the location is superb. A couple of observations – the wifi in the stable didn't work. We raised this with the agent, but they never came back with an update. Also the side access was not secure for our dog – not great given the road can be a little busy. However we found an old door at the end of the garden which we used as a barrier. Final point was the houses hadn't had a particularly thorough clean. But overall we would stay again.
