“We arrived at the cottage to find weeds growing in the front doorway , the door was stuck and wouldn't open, we eventually opened it to find a pile of mail on the door mat , the cottage was freezing cold with all the heating turned off at the socket , there was no sheets on the bed , the Duvet thrown on the floor and dirty towels on the bed , in the Kitchen there was a part bottle of Wine and a Window open which wouldn't fasten , we phoned your company and a cleaner was sent out within 2 hours .”

The whole experience was just to much and didn't feel safe in a Cottage with a Window we couldn't lock , after a sleepless night , we took stock of the whole experience and decided to go home . This can only be described as the worst holiday we have ever had . We do feel that some form of Compensation should be coming our way . A very upset and annoyed Glen and Lesley Wall

“The property itself we thought was lovely, well decorated and furnished.”

It was easy to find, access to keys etc good and in a very nice quiet village. It let itself down a little as there are no cleaning items such as a brush and dustpan or even a small vacuum cleaner. I understand that the owner has a cleaning company in to do a clean after each let, I feel it would be to his benefit if he were to visit occasionally to check on this as it wasn't to a standard that reflected how much he apparently pays for this service. Overall we would go back as it is a nice property in a good location.

“I have had four cottages from you and this one was overall disappointing.”

The cottage was clean and the furniture comfortable. Easy access to the very good shop was a bonus. The internet worked well as did the television. However it was disappointing on the following: 1. I do not think you can describe a cottage as suitable for dogs when the only door opened directly onto a busy road. There is no sensible area to let a dog have a dog have a quick urinate. It was certainly not a dog friendly cottage. 2. Certain basic equipment was missing e.g. a broom and a mop would have helped. 3. The kitchen was minute although workable. 4. There was some confusion over the rubbish, and I had to phone the owner for clarification. I am not sure if we did it right even then. 5. It was not particularly cold, but the heating was only just adequate. 6. The sloping ceilings were a bit of a challenge, but I suppose that reflects the age of the property. I think my disappointment was focused by the fact that of the four cottages I have rented from you it was the dearest of the four per guest and in many respects was inferior to the previous ones, with which we have been very happy.
