Upon arriving at "Magnolia Cottage" our first impressions were "WOW" what a totally amazing and finely manicured place. The gardens, landscape and views are absolutely breathtaking and gorgeous, the words to describe it is picturesque and serene. Literally a piece of paradise on Earth. The yard and decking areas are very well fenced and our little Jack Russell Oscar was totally safe and enclosed and not able to get out of the fenced area which was awesome! So Well done! Nicci the Owner was great at all times and communicated very well, she made us feel at home and was extremely helpful. A few points that would make Magnolia Cottage absolutely perfect are, it would be nice to have some tissues and air freshner in the cottage. I could not find any, but everything else was well stocked. A clothes line near the washing machine and dryer would be great to enable guests to hang out towels and washing to air dry. The house is very well appointed and lovely but the kitchen is on the older side and the inside of the cupboards and drawers need a really good clean with disinfectant.
I found them quite dirty. The kitchen sinks were I am sorry Nicci but a total turn off and almost spoilt my stay, the stains and age of the sinks was not very nice, nor was the downstairs bathroom basin, the kitchen sinks really need to be replaced or bleached or re-enameled and the bathroom sink, the surrounding timber is bordering on mouldy. The oven needs a thorough clean also, it wasn't very clean. Thank you for a comfortable stay, the bedrooms were lovely and the heating was comforting. We hope to come back again one day when the kitchen has had it's improvements.
