"The accommodation was very comfortable and close to the town."
This is our second time here and we enjoyed being here. I think that anyone staying during a cold spell may find that the lounge may be draughty as there is no door and the settee covers the radiator by the window. It is also a bit awkward trying to close the curtains as you need to kneel on the settee to try to pull them. A little bit of polish on the rails may ease this for all the curtains.
The kitchen is well stocked with crockery and appliances but could be better with a pair of tongs and holey spoon to strain and dish out food plus some sort of rack for the grill pan as we had to find an alternative to using it..
What would be helpful would be instruction for the appliances so people know how to make good use of them.
Apart from that we had to arrange bathroom rota as there is only one, an ensuite in the main bedroom would help or a downstairs loo.
However we did manage to have a good holiday despite the weather!!
Hi, Thank you for your kind review and we are glad you enjoyed your second stay with us. You raise a number of points and we will work on these, in particular getting the additional items for the kitchen and oiling the rails in the lounge. We will also dig out the instruction manuals for the appliances and store them in the property to make the items easier to use.
We hope to see you again in the future

"Great location, good size rooms, comfortable beds, nice shower, plenty of crockery/pans etc, nice outdoor space."
Sofa too soft, dining chairs too hard, no latch/lock on bedroom doors, mouldy shower mat.
Hi, thank you for your kind review, glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the feedback on the other issues, we will get the mat sorted and look at the others.

"The property is large and comfortable beds are great, you have a leaking ..."
The property is large and comfortable beds are great, you have a leaking radiator in the kitchen the vacuum cleaner doesn’t work and would benefit from a downstairs toilet,
Hi, Thank you for the kind review and glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for pointing out the radiator leak and faulty vacuum, we will let our cleaning and maintenance team know to get them fixed for future guests. On the downstairs toilet, we have plans to incorporate the outside toilet via the utility room but it needs to be done out of season so will be dealt with at some point in the future

Loved the little touch of a packet of biscuits tea, coffee, sugar and a pint of milk for your arrival..
The beds are very comfortable and the rainfall shower is delightful.
Love the fact Morrisons is less than 5 minutes away by foot

"The garden was unkempt with the grass over grown and plants left to go wild."
The cushions for the garden furniture was locked in a garden box but no key was available. The script suggests having dinner ‘al fresco’ however the furniture was not suitable for a meal, being so low, coffee table. There were 5 black bin liners full of rubbish, empty bottles & cardboard box from previous visitors outside back door. There were no manuals for any of the machines/equipment - the coffee machine didn’t work. Only one toilet roll was left at the property. Reviews in the Visitor Book mentioned a Welcome Pack but there was nothing for us. Parking was difficult - we only managed to park once outside Daisy Cottage…..overall we were disappointed.
Dear Robert, we are very sorry you had such a bad experience. Thank you for bringing the rubbish to our attention, this along with the welcome pack and toilet rolls are handled by our cleaning company and I will be discussing what went wrong. On the garden we were aware of this and have recently converted the grass to astroturf and tidied it up so that should be much improved. I will update the welcome information to include the location of the key for the cushion box.
Once again our apologies for the bad experience

"Generally a lovely house."
I've been a bit harsh on cleanliness perhaps, I think we suffered a quite specific and rather unfortunate issue related to the previous tenants... Generally the house was clean.
Hi,
Glad you enjoyed your stay and felt it was good overall, if you wouldn't mind sending more details of the cleanliness issue to the email address we sent the welcome pack from we will speak to our cleaning firm about it.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Daisy Cottage."
It was very spacious, very clean, well equipped and furnished to a high standard. It's really well located, being in walking distance of the town and very close to the Tarka Trail with other nice places a short drive away. We particularly enjoyed our walk down river to Appledore.
Dear Mr Reece, thank you for your kind feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and we agree with you that the riverside walk up to Appledore is very enjoyable.
We hope to see you again soon

"A very comfortable and convenient home in Bideford in a quiet location."
You can tell a lot of care and thought has gone into making this an ideal holiday home for visitors. Lovely close walks for our dog and he loved staying there. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of supplies left to enjoy. We will definitely stay again when visiting family in the area in the future. A short housekeeping and local area guide may help next tenants in their stay and staying/ leaving the property. Please note: the radiators may need bleeding as they were gurgling quite loud.
Dear Natalie,
Thank you for your kind feedback, we are glad you and your dog enjoyed your stay. We will update the welcome pack further to hopefully cover more useful information and thank you for the tip on the radiators, we will bleed them on our next Maintenance visit.
