“We had a previous very positive experience with a Hogans cottage and so we had high expectations.”
The location of this facility was excellent and as described. The place was clean on arrival. However the property was lacking any effort to make it really comfortable. There were no blinds on any of the four skylight bedroom windows. The other windows had the cheapest most transparent curtains possible. We had to buy tinfoil and sellotape to cover up the windows to enable us to sleep past sunrise. This meant we were unable to appreciate views from bedroom windows during the daytime. Very dissappoiting. Everything had the feeling of the cheapest job possible to finish. We couldn't access wifi and eventually found a router but the account had no credit on it. A welcome booklet about the houses facilities would have been helpful to explain where this was and the credit should have been topped up. Certain things available at the previous location would have made our stay more comfortable, a high chair, a coffee maker, more pots, one decent knife, an grill that you could use without smoking out the whole house, some oven trays (we had to buy one), garden furniture and a bbq and just a general effort to make the place feel like some effort went in to makng it homely. My standards were high after our last experience. Next time I think I'll just air bnb it.
