This place with some TLC could be wow especially given great location , sadly it’s not and just feels a bit neglected .
Hello,
And genuinely thank you for the feedback.
The boiler has been fully serviced and works perfectly (it is actually circa 9 years old).
The cleaning company have given the whole place a thorough, "sparkle clean" and when I visited this week there were no cobwebs (and certainly not a shroud of them - though I do like your phrase :)
The cabinet you mentioned in the bathroom has been replaced (and you are right it was showing the first signs of rust - anyway, it's gone now). There's no mould anywhere that we can see.
So, the Cottage has had some TLC and as your rightly say, it's back to being "wow"! And you're also right, of course the location, being merely (literally) 10 feet away from a stunning 12th Century priory, in a spectacular and hugely popular village, simply can't be beaten.
So, thanks again for the comments, they genuinely do help us focus on making the Cottage the best it can be for future guests.
Best wishes,
The owners
