“We are a family of 2 grandparents, in our mid 80s, our son and his wife and our 2 grandchildren, 4 and 2.”
The bedrooms and bath/shower facilities were very good, e.g. toilets on each floor, and sufficient showers , comfortable beds /washbasins/bath. The staircase from ground floor to first floor is steep and another handrail, on the other side to the existing one , would have been very helpful. The kitchen and eating area was fit for purpose but the sitting room was disappointing, and the central ceiling light had no shade. The sofas were comfortable but colors didn’t match with the carpet, and the fire didn’t work. It had an out of order sign on it , and judging by previous guest remarks, had been like that since early 2023. It didn’t have a cosy feel to it, rather a collection of items. We spent time outside in the very nice garden, which was great, and the garden furniture was very good, but if the weather had been bad, we would have been cramped indoors. The back steps are steep and are also difficult for children and older people..
Thank you for your review. I notice that you have stayed at the cottage before (during the previous ownership and early in our ownership) and the cottage size has not changed. The back steps are steep (4 in total with a handrail each side) but there are 2 small steps to the front door. These can be seen on the front photo of the house. The side path from the front of the house to the back garden of the house is almost flat/slightly down hill. We updated the decor to our taste and replaced the furniture to reach the fire retardant criteria. We are unable to please everyone’s individual taste. The gas fire was condemned during an inspection therefore it was marked out of order. We now have an electric fire. The points that you made after your previous stay had been rectified. The owner
