    “Lovely cottage, good facilities but dissatisfied with the cleanliness.”

    Used sanitary towels left in the en-suite bathroom which is a bio hazard. Informed the owners but they told us there was nothing they could do. So we had to put up with it which I find unacceptable and therefore cannot recommend. Other items missing off the inventory and the en-suite large shower head does not work. For the amount of money charged they should be able to carry out repairs.

    Thank you for your feedback, it is always useful. Unfortunately , your insights were only shared after you had finished your holiday. You had all of our contact details and we pride ourselves in responding and trying to solve any issues quickly for our guests. We have previously had an excellent cleanliness rating and the bin not being emptied was unacceptable, but we were not informed at the time. We have, of course, spoken to our cleaners so there is never a repeat. The shower does work and it was user error to not get the water feed through. Again we could have helped with this. Finally, we always ask all guests to advise us of any breakages or gaps in our inventory so we can replace quickly. We didn’t know there were gaps. Thank you for highlighting to us and we will resolve. We are very sorry you experienced these issues. Property Owner
