  • "Superb location and stunning views."

    However, irrespective of Grade 3 listing, there are some basic shortcomings. To name a few......... *Only ONE window in the whole house opens. That's in the conservatory which also lacks any blinds. *Dishwasher is temperamental *2 chairs have wobbly legs *Outside lighting not working and trips the electricity supply to the whole house if switched on! Dangerous on steep steps. *Kitchen poorly equipped. Talked to the owner who I felt played lip service to my constructive comments and basically relies on the beautiful location to smooth over the issues. Despite the above, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful holiday.

    I spoke to this lady, as this couple were late, checkout is 9.30am the cleaning team van had arrived at 10.15. At this point she raised a few issues. After they had left I did check out her comments. In regard to the windows,the rear conservatory windows do open without a key, the others windows open with a key, which was in a bowl on the kitchen window cill. Yes, there is an issue with the front conservatory windows, to which I've been trying to find a solution. I also explained an electrician had been booked to replace the sensor. For safety reasons it had been turned off at the board within a cupboard. There is ample light from conservatory to illuminate the steps, had it been winter it would have been prioritised. I advised this work is booked for a Monday in June. Blinds in the conservatory for closing at night are a personal preference. There are curtains within the front bedroom. I also checked the legs on the chairs. The chairs dont have wobbly legs, the tiled floor opposite the rear door, isn't quite level. The table had been moved to the front conservatory and when moved back it was not in it's normal position. I was unaware of the slight uneven floor area in the rear conservatory. The shelves next to the cutlery drawer contain items, that this lady considered were missing, for example the potato peeler and grater. The dishwasher wasnt mentioned nor had any other guest complained about the dishwasher. I have been running my business for many years and I do take on board guests comments. Had these issues been brought to me earlier in their stay, with the exception of the front conservatory window the other minor points would have been resolved. Sadly she was rather disgruntled, that she was being asked to leave, when the professional cleaning team arrived. Property Owner

  • "Although the cottage is in a great location with amazing views, we felt that it needed a thorough clean and update to bring it up to an acceptable standard for paying guests."

    I am sorry to read that you were disappointed. The property is accurately listed at grade 3, basic level. The photos clearly show the decor which may not be to everyone's liking. The property was professional deep cleaned in March by a local cleaning company. The clean also included all the carpets. This cleaning company professionally cleans at change over but due to the property's woodland location, sometimes cobwebs do quickly return. Curtains and bedroom lamps and pendant shades have recently been upgraded. A new trickle vent extractor has recently been installed in the bathroom. Last year the electric fire was changed for an Optiflame, as well an upgrade to a Duralit toaster. The front conservatory is old, and a major expense to replace as advised it does get very hot from time to time, The start of May this year being hotter than normal. Every effort is made to ensure an enjoyable holiday experience in a beautiful location. Property Owner
