Anna holiday lettings

First and foremost we enjoyed a fine stay! The cottage was charming and proved to be a great base from which to explore. Top-notch location - quiet but literally just a 5 minute stroll into historic downtown and the fabulous shops, hospitality and frequent festivals. Technically it's a 3 bedroom property but may work best as a 2 double bed with a useful office/dressing room. It's all pleasantly decorated and pretty roomy. There's an easy flow from the kitchen through the diner to the generous open plan lounge and the front porch is a boon on a warm summer night after a hot Texan day. The kitchen, diner and drinks bar were well stocked with the usual, slightly mismatched, array of housewares in just about the right numbers to make life civilised. Significantly the bed in the master suite was really comfortable! I could end this review right there because we had a tremendous time and the following observations are minor details: I'm sure the host's prep is usually more thorough but the outside bins were smelly and fly friendly (like they'd missed a collection). There was an empty bottle by the bed and a random pair of black pants in a draw (unfortunately the British definition of pants). The en-suite's sink tap delivered less than a dribble of water and the shower took a while to warm up. Enjoying the back yard was not an option as the 'weather covers' had been dislodged from the seating so leaves had collected in unattractive puddles of stale water - bit of a shame.
