Everything you need

the property has everything you need for a short stay; the „private garden“ is realy very small; some furniture should be replaced (e.g. the sofa) and the windows need to be cleaned sometimes;

Reasonable, not very clean

The location is not nice for a long time, you are very far away from all the beautiful areas. There is not much to do in the immediate area. The house was not very clean (spiderwebs and very dirty oven dishes, teapot and coffee pot that we did not use. The mattress on the bed is very bad (sagging) and the sofa in the living room is also sagging. The shower wall of the bath is leaking, causing the floor to become with a lot of water. The landlady was friendly and brought clean towels and sheets halfway through the stay

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Oct 2023
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry to hear that you werent completely happy with your stay. I take pride in providing a comfortable, clean property for my guests to relax in, and I have addressed all issues with my cleaning team. The mattress mentioned is a firm orthopaedic mattress ('Sealy Posturepedic') on a wooden bedframe; the previous guest found it a little too firm, so the comment about it sagging is very surprising. I do hope you enjoyed your stay regardless. I appreciate that after driving all the way from Holland to Somerset, you may have preferred not to use the car, but I hope you enjoyed your visits to nearby Glastonbury, as well as to Lyme Regis and Avebury; and that you also appreciated the privacy of the cottage and its garden, which ensured that your dogs did not disturb anyone else.
