“Gorgeous place, gorgeous views, amazing beds/shower/kitchen/bath, etc etc… the place is exactly as described - so the following is by no means a moan however just a few things that I think are helpful to point out.”
Firstly, it would be a helpful addition to have a slim coffee table at either end of the L-configured sofas just to pop a mug on when sitting at the far ends (where the sofas meet there’s a cabinet to put things on). If there are more than two people, those stuck on the ends have to put their drinks on the floor. There’s not a lot of room but a magazine rack with a slim table top would do the trick. Secondly, we set off the heat alarm whilst using the oven to cook, easily remedied second time round cooking by having the front door open but when it first happened it took a good ten minutes or more to get the alarms to stop (calls to the number in the email for assistance just told me the office was closed). Might be worth mentioning in the guest booklet that this alarm is sensitive and to be mindful of letting fresh air in while cooking as there is no extractor. Lastly, the parking. Yes I expect hills in Cumbria but the cottage is near the top of the steepest slope we came across the whole holiday (a single track road which has a sheer drop the other side) so just bear that in mind if you’re a nervous driver. I had butterflies every time I got in the car to go anywhere but they got less and less, so if I can do it anyone can :)
Thank you for your useful feedback and we will certainly look into adding a small side table to the lounge. We will also make note of the issue with the heat/smoke alarm. We are glad you enjoyed your time at Honeypot Cottage.
