“There is no question that this property is situated in a perfect location and the off street parking for 2 cars certainly is a well appreciated bonus.”
The property description refers to it as being 'a classy bolthole'. Well, sadly, it has lost its classiness and is feeling tired. It has always had a few issues, but we would have hoped that, over time, these would have been resolved.
As others have described in their reviews, far from enjoying the 'sumptuous leather furnishings' (Lakelovers description), the reality is more coping with saggy leather seating which has lost any support and comfort and needs to be replaced. Also, the dining chairs are not high enough to make eating at the table comfortable/practical.
Whilst the bathroom suites are modern, the 'sparkling' ensuite is found lacking but could be improved by deep cleaning to remove the mould and mildew that has built up on the tiles over time. The shower head is positioned a little too close to the wall making it difficult to stand completely underneath. The towel holder is also no longer fit for purpose.
The front and back gardens have each sadly turned into a bit of a jungle and the garden furniture would have required a good clean to remove all the 'green' mould to make sitting on them a pleasant affair.
A hair dryer, toiletries, and washing up liquid were missing from the cottage. We presume this was due to Covid precautions, but a heads up would have been appreciated.
