“Disappointed with the stay overall.”
While the cottage is very good looking, and it was clean and well stocked, it could be frustrating to stay in. The only methods of heating were the storage heaters which despite the instructions given were not easy to use and only seemed to come on when we didnt particularly need it, especially the evening. When they were on, they took a long time to heat. And the wood burning fireplace, which went out very quickly and we ran out of wood. Due to this a lot of evenings were quite cold.
The bed was lovely, but the couches were not particularly comfortable.
The parking instructions were not entirely clear, and we parked in a small parking spot beside the garage after misunderstanding the instructions which said "in front of the garage". The owner confronted us on this and we were more than happy to move but before we could finish explaining the misunderstanding, he cut us off very rudely. I understand we made a slight error, but it was no way to approach it with guests. Every appliance from the heaters, to the towel warmer, to all of the kitchen appliances were not switched on, so our night was spent trying to find how to actually get all of our facilities on, some of the sockets more hidden than others.
Unfortunately I would not stay here again, as I have had better experiences in other cottages in the area, for similar prices.
Hi Connor,
Sorry you were a little disappointed with the cottage , the storage heaters should be set to come on in the morning and evening, but there is an override button. It is clear however, I need to do some clearer instructions, which I will take on board .
The log burner is new and is a very efficient way of heating the cottage, but I will check it this weekend.
As far as the parking, for the record it was not myself who you spoke to, it must have been my neighbour, who owns that bit next to my garage.
