“Poppy cottage is perfectly situated for walking up into the hills from the back door.”
It has a beautiful garden which when the Sun shines is a lovely place to relax. However, the cottage is dark inside and poorly lit in the main sitting area. The open fire, when lit smokes badly and we gave up using it in the end. The information booklet for the cottage provided no useful information and it was a case of finding out for yourself. The kitchen whilst very nicely done out there were several things that annoyed. The knives in the block was so blunt that even butter was a challenge ...
It has a beautiful garden which when the Sun shines is a lovely place to relax. However, the cottage is dark inside and poorly lit in the main sitting area. The open fire, when lit smokes badly and we gave up using it in the end. The information booklet for the cottage provided no useful information and it was a case of finding out for yourself. The kitchen whilst very nicely done out there were several things that annoyed. The knives in the block was so blunt that even butter was a challenge For them. The sharpener was next to useless and we had to go and buy a knife So we could cut safely and effectively. Markings on the oven were illegible and made using the cooker tricky. There was no way of lighting the hob rings and we had to go and buy a lighter for the purpose. The combination boiler proved unreliable and topping up system pressure was the only way to ensure it works and needs servicing. Poppy cottage has a lot of potential but his letdown by lack of information and attention to the basic needs for a comfortable holiday.
