“This would be in the perfect location if it were only 20 yards or so further back from the road.”
It’s a busy A road and whilst we expected some road noise, we didn’t expect it to remain noisy right though the night. Between that and mattresses that were made of concrete, we hardly slept.
The shower door on the first floor was broken - this must have been known as you could not clean it otherwise. So- we were forced to use the one on the lower floor meaning a 2 stair trek in your towel each morning. Not great. Plus the controls for this shower were also dodgy.
The window on the bottom staircase is cracked and the downstairs loo kept on refilling intermittently. The padlock on the parking space was broken when we got there, so all in all, not a very high standard of maintenance.
There were 3 in our party, but had there been 4 we would have struggled to settle down on an evening. The small bay window area was plenty big enough for an arm chair, non of us could sit on the bean bag which was provided.
A few little touches such as a place to hang tea towels etc would be good, and perhaps washing machine tablets. We couldn’t use the washer as we don’t usually travel with these and couldn’t find any in the property.
On the other hand, the hob was great and the dishes were clean which saved a job. We usually have to run the dishwasher upon arrival in some cottages, but not here.
We try to get to the lakes each year, but won’t be returning to this cottage I’m afraid.
Thanks for picking 8 Waterhead, sorry it didn’t work for you , kind regards.
