“We had an excellent holiday at the cottage.”
The views from the living room and bedroom were amazing, and it was nice to sit outside at the private garden table while the children enjoyed the mini woodland walk. The kitchen was well equipped, and the bird feeders outside the kitchen window attracted various interesting birds.
It was very considerate that the holiday cottage company phoned us up to check that we were ok when there was a local power cut.
We are hoping to return to the same cottage for another holiday soon. There are some improvements which could be added to the cottage, which would enhance our experience:
A cafetière (most holiday cottages have one)
Pegs (there was a washing line but no pegs)
The drier had a fault. The door would not remain closed because the catch did not align with the square hole. This was overcome by pushing it back into alignment each time the door was closed.
The back door was very stiff and the children were unable to open or close it.
The shower hose was deteriorating. It was ok for us but looked as if it would not last much longer.
These were not serious problems, but improvements that could be made. I hope you will send this feedback to the owner so that they can improve the cottage.
We had a great stay and hope to come back to the same cottage again.
We are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday at our cottage. Thank you for the detailed feedback. It has been such a busy season that we have not stayed there since we reopened in April. There used to be a contemporary Bodum cafetière at the cottage, we will certainly replace it as it sounds like it has gone missing! The coloured clothes pegs are usually kept on the shelf in the drying room. This is the first time that we have heard of a problem with the drier. It sounds like we need a new one. We will investigate the problems with the back door and the shower hose - which is surprising as the shower unit is only three years old.
Kind Regards,
