“My comments in the visitor book 'Very well-equipped; warm and my dog liked the wild garden' speaks volumes for this property.”
So what about the rest? First impressions were good but on closer inspection the cottage had clearly not been cleaned properly; for example dead wasps on the sink-top, cobwebs and dust on the units and cigarette butts in the ashtray on the outside table. The microwave was rusty and the cooker a little grubby. On the positive side it was the best equipped holiday property I have visited and the heating system was superb. The bedding towels etc. were spotlessly clean. Judging by the quality fittings and utilities, the owner had spent a considerable amount of money on this property but now it looks 'tired'. The paintwork needs refreshing and the carpets replacing, especially the stair carpet. I also recommend that the owner looks at the cleaning contract. This cottage has many advantages but needs some attention. Disappointing.
Hi Derek, Thank you very much for your feedback, really pleased that you had a good stay. It has been an ongoing project since we bought the place last year so it’s good to hear you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for taking the time to point out some improvements and this has been noted and shared with the cleaning team who will be making sure this is avoided in future.
Regarding the painting, we actually started that this year and managed to have the painters update and complete the main areas. Our plan is to get them to complete the last bits this year so I’m sorry about that but thankfully we will be getting that done this year. The carpet on the staircase is part of that plan too as we certainly agree it needs to be replaced.
We will get that microwave replaced this coming week too.
Hope to welcome you back again.
Kind Regards, Jason and Rosa Property Owner
