    “We had a great stay in Rowan cottage.”

    The cottage was well equipped. The only issues we had were that the can opener did not work and the vacuum cleaner had no suction. We also discovered on the first night that the hot and cold on the wet room wash basin taps are the wrong way round. I am sure someone else must have noticed this.

    Hi Elaine, Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay in August with us, and found the cottage well equipped. Thanks for letting us know about the can opener, vacuum, and taps - we’ll check and fix or replace anything needed. In the UK, hot taps are usually on the left and cold on the right, and older properties sometimes differ, both are acceptable. We understand this could be confusing and will see if it’s something we can change. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to welcome you back in future! Best wishes, The Oaks Team Property Owner
