Host & Stay | Melody's Cottage

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the cottage and its location. We hope you had a wonderful time exploring the area, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback — I’m very sorry to hear your stay fell far short of expectations, particularly given your own experience managing cottages. I apologise that you encountered a smell of mildew when opening the back door and rust inside the microwave; those comments are concerning and not acceptable. I also note you have made a formal complaint to Host & Stay on nine health and safety grounds and that this has been raised. I’m very sorry you had to buy two trailing leads because the only bedroom socket was hidden behind the bed, and that the sitting room provision was insufficient. Your points about kitchen equipment — only one saucepan lid for several saucepans, only a frying pan and only one set of cutlery per person requiring hand washing between meals — are also unacceptable and not reflective of the standards we aim to provide. Likewise your need to purchase non-slip mats to use the bath and shower safely, the lack of ventilation in the bathroom and the stuck window are all matters we have noted. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention and for outlining them so clearly. We have noted your feedback and it will be investigated. Please accept my sincere apologies that the cottage did not deliver the luxury experience you expected or that Host & Stay advertise. Your comments are important and will help inform improvements for future guests.
