“We enjoyed our 5 days at Fiddlesticks.”
It was a perfect location to visit our son with a good kitchen, living room and bedrooms/bathrooms. The neighbours were chatty and helpful. Plus when we trouble with the door lock one day, the handy man was there quickly to resolve. We also really liked Beaminster and the surrounding area. We cooked every breakfast, most lunches and several dinners at the cottage, and had no trouble, except maybe the need to get spices, even pepper and salt, and cooking oil. We also did laundry one day successfully using the machines in the outside laundry room above the deck, and thankfully washing detergent was provided. The TV worked well, and we found the books on the area interesting and useful. The beds were comfortable and the linen and towels were clean. There was plenty of hot water and pressure in the bathrooms.
We do have a couple of suggestions though...first, we had to purchase shampoo, conditioner and bathroom bar soap, since we are not fans of the bathroom-gel-used-for-everything soap, and would suggest you at least let people know what to expect. We also purchased some spices for cooking, even salt and pepper, which seemed unreasonable. A minor issue was a new deck umbrella provided that did not fit the tables on the deck. Also we were told there was a parking stall for the cottage, but it is very small, difficult to navigate and the neighbour in front has a 3 ft wide access allotment that makes it pretty well impossible to use the stall. Thankfully one of the ladies on the street allowed us to park in front of her place, and I think kept others from parking there while we were in residence.
